Shortcut button in form to show workflow

Henrik Olesen

Hi Users asks for a link directly in the form to the workflow. I'm thinking of adding a button in the form and when pressed it shows the workflow. Actually just a shortcut instead of going to the menu - Views - Workflow. The method behind must be generic so it works on all itemtypes where it's added. A lot of infrequent users never find their way to the menu so the idea was to give them easier access to the workflow view. Kind Regards Henrik Olesen Kamstrup Denmark

    Create HTML field: And use following code: 
    
<script>
    function showWorkflowProcess() {
		if (document.item && !top.aras.isTempEx(document.item)) { 
			var wfProcessId;
			var q = new top.Item("tmp", "tmp");
			q.loadAML("<Item type='Workflow' action='get' select='related_id(*)'>" +
						"<source_id>" + document.item.getAttribute("id") + "</source_id>" +
						"<related_id condition='is not null'/>" +
					  "</Item>");
			q = q.apply();
			if (q.getItemCount() == 1 && !q.isError()) {
				wfProcessId = q.getItemByIndex(0).getProperty("related_id", "");
			} 
			
			if (wfProcessId !== "") {
				top.aras.uiShowItem("Workflow Process", wfProcessId);
			}
		}
	}
</script>

<button type="button" onclick="showWorkflowProcess();" style="background-color: white; border: none; cursor: pointer;" id="openWorkflowBtn_btn">
    <img src="../images/WorkflowProcess.svg" border='0' width="25" height="25" />
</button>
