Not seeing a place to make a workflow a user triggered business process

Laserfiche Cloud

On premise workflow allows users to make a workflow a business process that can be triggered by a user in the client. I do not see how to do this when setting up a workflow in the cloud product. Please advise if this is possible and how to do it. Thank you.

Is this what you are looking for?

I signed into Laserfiche cloud, clicked on a folder and went to More -> Process:

Am I missing something here or is this what you are looking for?

Edit:

If this does not prove sufficient for you, you could always just create a template with one drop-down that has one option.

This option will start your Workflow and do whatever you want it to do.

I do this in multiple processes in my company since it proved easier to teach end users this method than how to start a BP from the client.

This looks to be regular Web Access not Laserfiche Cloud.

Thank you! We are currently doing just that, changing a field that will run the process on the folder. At the moment, the ability to manually start a business process is not available in the Laserfiche Cloud.

Does anyone know if a Cloud workflow can be user initiated yet?

Hi @████████ - any update on this please? Is this coming in Cloud workflow? We would love the ability for a user to trigger a Workflow by clicking on a menu button please.

If possible - this should also be triggerable without having to select an entry. The use case is launching a workflow that runs an API Web Request to update a look-up table (so the user can trigger a refresh 'on request').

Thanks.

There are no plans to add this functionality in the near future. For your specific case, I would recommend using a schedule on your workflow.
