I know I have seen it in the past but is there a way to have a Form that after it is submitted to submit another Form?
Thanks!
You can setup a workflow so that once a form submits it invokes the workflow to Invoke a Business Process which will start a separate form. I think this is what you are referring to.
Unless you are wanting the same business process to kick out another form in which you can create multiple forms in the process. Submit one form and the next step takes you to another task that holds another form to complete.
I was trying to put a workflow in my process but I cannot type a name in the workflow that works. It gives me an error 401.
Not sure what I am missing.
Did you check your connection in Forms Config?
Sorry for the dumb question, but where do I check those settings, in the Form on the Repository profile or in the Workflow?
Are you looking to ask the user if they would like to submit another of the same form? You can click on the "Start" activity in the Business Process and then "On Event Completion" and you can add a link to the form there or to your forms site.
I am sorry, but I am lost...
Where do I go to see the Business Process? I am in Forms or in Workflow?
The business process is in forms. The screen shot you sent previously is the right place. Are you wanting to:
A. invoke a separate form from workflow after a form is submitted (will create a completely separate instance and the form has its own business process)
B. have another form be assigned in the same business process as the first form (in the task assignment you would select the form you want assigned)
C. Steven's suggestion - When a form is submitted, there is a "completion" screen. On the Message Start Event task you can go to On Event Completion and have a link that leads to another form.
Ah yes, I found that one. I put a link going back to the original form so if the user wants to do it they can click on the link.
Originally, I was trying to get a Collection going that would allow a user to input a list of the data and then submit it all but I couldn't get that to work either. I went with the link to go back to the submit page for now.
Thank you for your help!
Another option is also to send the end user and email with the link. I find people get "click happy" when they complete a form and close the browser without reading the completion screen. An email gives them the link and the option at any time if they need to submit again.
I am trying to make it as easy as I can for them, but they keep asking for this and that.
I think there is a way to import data from a spreadsheet. I will look into that.
Thank you for your help!
Do you want the initial form submission to actually submit a second form, or just begin another form for the initiator to fill out? If you wanted to open a second partially-completed form, this would be easy to do by adding a URL redirect after submission to the second form and, depending on the fields, you can fill it using URL parameters.
