Good afternoon,


I am using "web-entry" form and "action by email" function with processmaker.

I was wondering is it possible to generate an output document and save it into a specific location on my server after submitting a web-entry form.

Is this achievable?


Many thanks,
Yuan

Thank you very much for the detailed solution!

By the way, I have a super long form at the moment, I was wondering is it possible to separate it into many parts?

Please see attached image, for example, if I have three sections, when the user finish section one, he click the "Next Step", then the form will redirect to the section two, and then goes on.

Is this possible to do that? Or any work around ideas?

Thanks,

Yuan

You could use jQuery's hide() and show() methods to show parts of the form when the user clicks on each tab.

Thank you very much for your answer it works!

By the way,

To display the loading spinning circles in your DynaForm, you can use this code:
$("body").append("<div class='pmDynaformLoading'></div>");

And to remove them, you can use this code:
$("body").find("div.pmDynaformLoading").remove();

I have tried these code but nothing happened. Could you please provide an example?

I have tried the following code it works,

$("#1197621835a1c8f9630a320061957706").showFormModal();
$("#1197621835a1c8f9630a320061957706").hideFormModal();

but how should I do to perform the following function?

Since I have a long grid to display after clicking this button, it takes 5-6 seconds, during this period I want to show modal image instead of a freezing page. When the gird has completed loading, then this modal will disappear. Is this possible? Or any work around methods?

Please see sample image.

Here is a sample DynaForm with the spinning circles:

Are you using REST calls to populate the grid?

You can do something like:

Code: Select all

function populateGrid() {
   //start getting info to populate grid:
   $("body").append("<div class='pmDynaformLoading'></div>");
  
   //call REST to get data for the grid
   //fill grid with grid.addRow()

   //done populating the grid:
   $("body").find("div.pmDynaformLoading").remove();
}

Hi Amo,

Long time ago, you mentioned that it is possible to copy attachments and save to a different location by using the above method.

However I want to know if it is possible to add the above code as a script task inside a process, so at the end of the process, all the attachments will be saved to a specific place.

Could you please let me know if this is possible? The specific address i want to copy to is one of our shared drive(h:/documents/year/@@process_name/@@caseid/save_everything_under_here).

Thanks,
Yuan

I wrote up an example trigger to handle this:
