Start Service task when Form loads

asked on October 15, 2014

Currently, the service task runs when  I hit the submit button. How do I make the service task run when the form loads please? I want to run a workflow in the service task when the form loads. Please help. Thanks.

Currently, that type of functionality is not directly built into forms. 

 

Can you indicate what type of functionality you would gain from having the ability to configure the service task that way? 

 

One way to handle this could be to have the form contain code that will send a call to a web service to start the workflow when the page loads. I have not attempted that type of functionality myself though.

Ok. We would like to authenticate the user using the workflow before the form is shown to the user. The workflow is calling the web service to authenticate the user. Thanks.

Hey Priya,

 

It sounds like you may simply need to configure security for the Forms Business Process if you want to authenticate users.  Is there any reason that you're avoiding the Forms security?  Should users ever be able to see the business process or form if they are just going to get rejected by not being authenticated?
