Trigger a Business Process from the last step in another Business Process

asked on July 18, 2019

Hi, I am currently building process for approval of a form. At the last step, there should be a decision to end the process or invoke another process for another purpose.

Is there a way I can invoke the other process from the last step of the existing process I am working on? Also, Is there a way to make the values in the completed form to be retrieved in the form of the other process?

Here is an example:

Project Request Process (Business Process 1):

Step 1: complete the form and submit business case for approval

Step 2: approve business case

Step 3: determine solution type and implementation type

Step 4: approve solution type and implementation type

Step 5: determine data that will be collected, used, disclosed, etc.

Step 6: approve data set

Step 7: if data set is Type 1 then initiate Business Process 2. Otherwise, end Business Process 1.

 

Upon initiating (Privacy Requirements) Business Process 2, the form will retrieve some data from the previous form utilized in Business Process 1. Then the user will proceed with Business Process 2 as needed.

 

Thanks.

One way to do this in your business process is to have an exclusive gateway that evaluates if data set is Type 1, if it is then have it run a workflow service task.  That workflow would have as it's first activity to Retrieve Business Process Variables, then you would use the activity to Invoke Business Process which would start your Business Process 2 with your fields set from the business process variables you retrieved in the first activity.

In the Workflow's properties, check the box on the General tab "Started by Laserfiche Forms" and you won't need any conditions set for the workflow.
