Is there a way to make a Forms Business process available for only a certain period. We are busy with a Study Assistance process & the customer only want the process to be available for certain months of the year.
Hi David,
Thanks for bringing this up again, I've filed a feature request for this as it seems a popular request. However for the moment, as Xavier said, the only out-of-the-box way to accomplish what you'd like is to manually publish and unpublish the process at the beginning and end of the term when you'd like it to be available.
If the starting form is to be public-facing, you could embed the form (see the options in the "Share" dialog on the Publishing Options for embedding) on another page and use some kind of scripting to control its display. This can be done using JavaScript, for example in this StackOverflow thread. (I'm refraining from posting actual sample code here directly as it could vary depending on what exactly the need is to restrict form access --- and what else might be on this "other page" containing the embed --- but the linked thread should be a good place to get started.)
Hope this helps!
Thank you James.
This would be a very helpfull feature to have. The customer we are working with will probably end up having 150+ processes. So although we are now only in the early stages of the development, to go and publish and unpublish everytime is risky. As this would rely on human action.
You can publish the form for when you need it, and unpublish it for when you don't.
