Question

Is there a way to have multiple Start Events on a Form?

Forms Version 10 Version 11

I have a form that Workflow will start and send to a user. I'd like to be able to allow the user to also start the form themselves. We are running Forms 11.0. I can't seem to find a way to get 2 Start events to stick and work in the Process Diagram.

One process only support one start event. With one message start event, you can use either workflow to start it or user can manually start it by filling the form directly.

I have multiple forms that use this method, it's very helpful.

Because you may need your process to act slightly different based on who initiated it (a user or Workflow), I often follow the initial submission by a Gateway that checks for either an option selected by the user (but populated differently by Workflow) or for a hidden field that is blank for the user (but populated by Workflow) or even just checking if the initating user was the WorkflowUser or not.
