Hi All,

We are using Processmaker 3.2-community edition. I have a fairly straight forward process where I have a field called Submission_Date in my form. I need to pause the case in the next users paused items until such time as the Submission_Date arrives. I have used the following trigger to try and pause the task

Code: Select all

if (isset(@@Submission_Date) and !empty(@@Submission_Date)) {
$unpauseDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime(@@Submission_Date));
var maxpause = PMFPauseCase (@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX, @@USER_LOGGED, $unpauseDate);
	die();

This is based on the example from the pmusers group. I have also included the form that Submission_Date is generated from.

The second issue is that once unpaued thre are 3 possible routes that the form can take

The form is unpaused on the submission date>
The form is submitted early
The form is submitted late.

Depending on the relative date the form would take one of three different routes.

I'm sure that the solution is simple but I just can't see the wood for the trees.

Code: Select all

if (isset(@@Submission_Date) and !empty(@@Submission_Date)) {
$unpauseDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime(@@Submission_Date));
var maxpause = PMFPauseCase (@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX, @@USER_LOGGED, $unpauseDate);
	die();

You are mixing PHP and JavaScript. If you run your case in Debug Mode, you will see an error message in the __ERROR__
variable.

Do it this way:

Code: Select all

if (isset(@@Submission_Date) and !empty(@@Submission_Date)) {
   $unpauseDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime(@@Submission_Date));
   @@ret = PMFPauseCase (@@APPLICATION, @%INDEX, @@USER_LOGGED, $unpauseDate);
   header("Location: casesListExtJsRedirector");
   die();
}

You put your "submission_date" field in a grid. Do you have multiple rows in your grid?

Let's assume that you only allow one row in your grid, then you can create three different paths in your process and use an exclusive gateway to decide which path to take.

Your three conditions in the exclusive gateway would be:

If today is the submission date:
!empty(@=gridVar) and date('Y-m-d') == substr(@=gridVar[1]['submission_date'], 0, 10)

If today is after the submission date:
!empty(@=gridVar) and date('Y-m-d') > substr(@=gridVar[1]['submission_date'], 0, 10)

If today is before the submission date:
!empty(@=gridVar) and date('Y-m-d') < substr(@=gridVar[1]['submission_date'], 0, 10)

Hi Amos,

Thank you.

In the grid there may be multiple lines but the Submission date is the same for all the lines.
