Click the workflow name (or select Edit from the Action Menu) on the Forms and Workflows Home page to open the workflow in the Workflow Designer. The Properties Navigator panel displays in the lower-left portion of the Form Designer. This panel shows information about important properties setup for this workflow step. Not all of the configured properties are shown in this view.

Open the Workflow Properties wizard by:

  • Clicking theEdit Workflow Properties icon in the Workflow Designer toolbar

The Properties Tabs work the same way whether you open them from the Navigator or from the Workflow Designer toolbar. Here is what you need to know:

  •  If you are working on several tabs at one time, you can navigate to other tabs and make changes there. Use the left and right arrows at the top of the screen to display additional tabs. You must click the Submit button when you are finished configuring Step Properties  to save your changes. Remember to save the workflow.
  • will validate the Property Settings when you click Submit. If a property value is invalid, the tab(s) will not close and a  message will display telling the designer that there are corrections to be made before saving. The screen will stay on the current tab if there is a validation error.  Otherwise, another invalid tab will be auto selected (starting from left to right) if another tab needs attention. Tab labels with invalid entries display in red.
  • Clicking on the Cancel button closes the tab(s). You will be asked to confirm if any changes were made.
  • Hover over any field on the Properties tabs to see a helpful hint providing information about the property. Some fields contain instructions to guide you.

  • In some cases, you can type ahead to narrow down the list. Use the up/down arrows, the Enter key or click an option with your mouse to select an option. Use the Backspace, Delete or click the x on a selected property to delete it.
  • Typing a opening curly brace into some fields, followed by the name of a control, show a list of the fields in your workflow that match the entered text and will be added to the field as a control template.

Users can go to their Task List to retrieve the task and they will  be returned to the screen where they were when the browser was closed.

Let's say you have a screenflow with steps A > B> C and the user closes the browser at screen B. When the user performs the task from the Task List, the workflow will open up at step B.

Here is a short synopsis of when the current location is saved. Consider a workflow with the following steps/roles: Role1(A → B → C) → Role2(D) → Role3(E):

...

  1. Edit the workflow in the Workflow designer.
  2. Click on the Employee Information step. Click on the  Edit Step Properties icon. Click the General Settings tab.
  3. Check Fast Finish.
  4. Repeat for all the steps in the workflow where you want the Finish button to display.  
  5. Save your changes.

If the steps in your workflow consist of forms and/or a summary step, Fast Finish forwards through the steps of your workflow until it hits one of the terminating conditions listed above.

Let's consider the Employee On Boarding workflow as an example. This workflow consists of a screenflow that is filled in by the new employee:

...

The Fast Finish button on an iPhone or iPad is accessed via a dynamic action menu that is activated by the right-most button in the top button bar. The action menu drops down below the button and floats above the form. If Fast Finish is not selected for the workflow or on the current step, then the action button and menu are not present at all. 

 

Refer to this feature announcement for more information.

...

If this checkbox is unchecked, tasks for the form or workflow will not appear in Task History searches. If you want them to appear, make sure this box is checked. Checking or Un-checking it affects all tasks including ones that were created prior to the action. 

Accessible

Live Forms can be used to build accessible forms/workflows that meet Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 accessibility standards. Check the Accessible property to turn on this feature. Refer to the Accessibility documentation for the details.

This property is checked by default and causes the “powered by frevvo” logo to appear on your workflow. Uncheck the checkbox to remove the logo from your workflow.
