Question

Is there a way to have a Workflow "end" or push forward a Form Business Process that is currently waiting on a User Task?

asked on April 13, 2016

I have a situation in which a Form will sit in a user's Forms Tasks inbox, but if something happens in another database/application, I want the Form to disappear from their Inbox automatically. The only way this could happen is if Forms somehow receives that event. I know I can do a parallel branch in Forms so that at the same time that User Task starts, a Workflow starts which is monitoring that database periodically. I wondered if I could somehow have that Workflow "end" when the condition is satisfied and then send a variable up to the Form that would cause it to leave that User's Tasks, but I doubt it.

Any thoughts?

Hi Gareth,

If you are running LF 10 this is very possible just without any outside tools. 

The workflow that you start in parallel can return its status when a condition is met, that can then use a signal event to cancel the approval.

There is some housekeeping that needs considered, i.e. if the form approval completes and your workflow is still running.

Anyhow this might give you some ideas to play with.
