Using a Display Callable Object for Forms

You can use a Form Display callable object as a display callable object for actions where the execution object is a form. It displays the name and description of the form and provides a link for download.

By integrating these two objects in an action, you are able to monitor process flow. You can generate a task for this step to make it accessible in the runtime. If the user has view permissions on the step, he or she can view the display object and download the form itself.

  More information: Creating Actions

1. In the gallery, navigate to the action you have created.
2. Choose Open and then (Edit Mode).

   You should be able to see the form callable object inserted in the action.

3. In the Item dropdown box, make sure Callable Object for Display is selected and choose (Insert).
4. In the gallery, navigate to folder Predefined Content  → Composite Forms and select Display CF CO.
5. Confirm your selection by choosing Select.
6. Select the action from the process flow list and open the Task tab page.
7. Set the Generate Task indicator.

   Whenever a form is mailed, a task is generated that can be viewed in the GP runtime worklist or UWL.

   Note

   On the Task tab page, you can also customize the task title that appears under Activities in the contextual navigation panel at runtime:

   1. Set the Customize Task Title indicator
   2. Enter a text pattern for the title.

      You can also include placeholders which are replaced by the values of the input parameters at runtime.

8. Save and activate the action.
9. Test the action by including it in a process.
