Customizing the task form - child records

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this as I'm a bit of a newbie
Basically if I have an ADF form for a human task, I have a business object that includes the parent record fields plus a number of child record fields. Now, if I autogenerate the task form for this, it will give me something like the child records are in a grid and I can add and delete them. However, because there are a lot of child record fields, it is not desirable to have them in a grid format, rather the fields would be arranged in a form, showing one child record at a time, with buttons to scroll to the previous/next child record (I hope I am describing this well)
I'm starting to build the task form from scratch but I'm not sure how to implement the above part, so any advice would be appreciated.

once you open the workflow in SPD, and open workflow , its located as below in Forms Section.

Is it possible to open the Task Form in new window?

Hi,
For the Oracle Business Process Workspace (BPM 11g), when opening a work item, is it possible to configure out the Workspace to open the Task Form in new window instead of opening in the bottom section under the work item list?
Thanks

"your project folder in workspace"\webRoot\webResources
under the above path, you will have img folder and place the image containing your custom logo.
under the same path you will have src folder
in that folder you can place your custom css file (eg. mycustomstyles.css) and you need to define your styles in this file
you can call the style items for the presentation objects at design time for labels and all other objects. But do not forget to refer your custom css file in the properties section.
Once you open the bpm presentation object in which you want to apply your css, in properties pane you observe four options in CSS sub section of properties. Here select the CSS file with webroot path and give appropriate styles to each presentation data objects.
hope this is clear to you.

JAVA API of Oracle BPEL, to access the "Task Form"(JSP) of a human task.

Hi,
Are there any JAVA API of Oracle BPEL, to access the "Task Form"(JSP) of a human task, to render the task form inside the custom worklist application.
Thanks,
Naga

I guess you mean accessing the task details and the payload from the java API.
Refer the below blog it will provide you the details

Error Generating the Task Form

While publishing a new SharePoint Designer 2010 List Workflow I get an Error:
SharePoint Designer encountered an error generating the task form. Server was unable to process request.--->Activation could not be completed because the InfoPath Forms Services support feature is not present.
I was able to publish SPD Workflows until a couple of days ago. Existing ones can be republished but not new ones.

Try running the following cmdlets.
Disable-SPFeature "IPFSSiteFeatures" - URL "Path"
Enable-SPFeature "IPFSSiteFeatures" -URL "Path"
These cmds will restart the Infopath Forms Services support features, which is responsible for supporting publishing Infopath Forms.
Hope this works for you.

Is there any control on the number of child records returned

Hi,
I am using web services 1.0 to return child records for an account. Is there any control over the number of child records that are returned. From what I can see it is above the default for 10 for parent record query and i would guess it returns up to 100 records?

In DSP 2.5, the 'streaming' api (which can be used only from a client in the ALDSP server instance) does not have a limit to the size of the results. The standard DSP 2.5 api causes the results to be materialized in memory - so you are limited to what memory you have available. (also, WLS server has a default limit of 10M for a request/response - can be increased in the WLS console - I think it's under 'Protocols').
The JDBC api has no limit on the result size - you might be better off using this for a reporting tool.
In DSP 3.2, there is no limit on the result size.

Human Task: how to get the participant name in the task form?

HI All,
I am using SOA Suite 11.1.1.6 in the current project. For a human task, there are multiple participating groups. For each participant, the payload is different. Currently, we are calling Human Task multiple times to pass the payload. However, I like to take advantage of new features in 11g Human task. I like to setup multiple groups as parallel. Then, jsf page can selective display corresponding parts of the payload for different partidipants. The problem is how JSF can get the name of the participant when page is invoked?
Thanks in advance,
Steven

ReGeneration of a task form after adding new element in the payload

Hello,
I have a question concerning the re-Generation of a task form
In a first step we have made a BPM Process with a Human task. We have generated the task form.
In a second step we have changed the payload definition in the Human Task (i.e adding an attribut).
How can we re-generate the existing ADF form or modify the Data Control wihtout creating a new ADF project ?
Thanks,
Grégoire.

When you use the auto generate task form feature, it creates a new project for the form. You can also use the manual generate function to add a form to an existing project. But, you can't replace an existing form with the new one this way.
You could update an existing form to access the new data element (theoretically - though you'd have to do a bit of manual puttering around) but if you have not customized the form, there is no benefit in doing it this way.

Sharepoint 2010 Designer workflow Custom Task Form

Hello,
could you please help me to customize the WF Task form using SharePoint Designer?
My requirement is to create the SPD 2010 WF with custom task form where i can add the controls as per the form requirement and I need to add Attachment control too to upload the file on Task Form.
Could you please advise me that how can I achieve it using SPD only (Without Infopath form)?
(Through Infopath its pretty easy to customize the Task Form, but I need to customize it through SPD only)
Thank You In advance!
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
For your demand, you can change the workflow task form to aspx pages and than customize the page .You can edit the content type created by the workflow to use the aspx pages :
Publish the workflow and it will have the task form created .The form name will be like Approval_x0028_25_x0029_.xsn .
The content type created by the workflow will also have the name Approval_x0028_25_x0029_.
Open the Tasks list in SharePoint Designer .Find the content type Approval_x0028_25_x0029_and edit it .
In the Forms section ,you can change the display form and edit form to be aspx pages for the content type .The workflow task will use the aspx page .I used the default task forms in my test and the URL is like:/Lists/Tasks/EditForm.aspx.
Save the changes .

SharePoint 2013 Workflow Custom Task Form

Hi..I am working on SharePoint 2013 workflow using visual studio 2013. In this workflow, i am creating tasks and i want to make a custom task form.
My workflow contains serial tasks. When each user approve, he should specify the next user.
I have added a custom content type and assigned it to my tasks but all i can do is taking the outcome from the task form as integers.
I want the user to approve and choose another user so i can assign another task to him.
thanks..

I believe what you're looking for is the Collect Data from User function, however I don't see that anywhere in a 2013 workflow. This did exist in 2010 workflows.
What you can do is to change this to an InfoPath form and run the workflow that way, assuming there isn't anything you absolutely need Visual Studio for.

Not getting 0x0D 0x0A child record delimiter

Hi - I have a simple flat file schema with fixed length records and a Cr Lf delimiter at the end of every record. The map performs beautifully when I test it in VS2010 but I don't get the delimiter when I add the map to the inbound maps in the receive port.
Any Ideas - I have kind of bent my pick on this one for a while.
Thanks in advance
Harold
Harold Rosenkrans

Ok,update - I specified ASCII in the target charset for the File Assembly component of the Custom Send pipeline I am using. Still no respect for the outbound FF schema postfix 0X0D 0x0A to child records. the resulting flat file didn't have the CrLf record
delimiters.
So just for grins I explicitly appended the CrLf to each text string record in the Oracle procedure. The custom pipeline does not strip them out and the records in the resulting flat file have the CrLf (0x0D 0x0A) record delimiters.
So that leads me to conclude the problem is in the flat file XSD - the xml is well formed, it passes through the parser with no problems and as I mentioned earlier when I test the map with this schema the resulting test file has the 0x0D 0x0A child record
delimiters. I have investigated a good number of possibilities without success. I guess I should take comfort in a work-around but this should just work as defined. Am I missing something in the Flat File schema?
Thanks

How to update child record when item from parent record changes

Hi, I have a master and detail form with two regions on the same page.
Region one references parent record, one of column in the parent record is also in the child record. And is one to many relation
between parent record and child record. How can I have the column on the child record updated when the column of the parent record is being modified?
For exemple; Parent record has two columns : ID and Program.
Child record has Program, goal# and status. I have two pages established, page 27 and page 28.
Page 27 list out all programs from parent record, by clicking on edit to a program, it braches to page 28 with program listed as editable field in region one, and mulitple records list in region two from the child record with the same program.
The problem that I am having is once the program in region one got modified using ApplyMRU, the program in child record did not get updated with the new value and therefore those record become orphan records. I need a way to update all current child records with the new program value.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can hlep out on this problem.
Julie
Edited by: JulieHP on May 24, 2012 4:57 PM

One Idea is
If possible create a after update database trigger on the parent table to update the relevant child record.
Next one
Create a PL/SQL process on the parent page with process sequence next to ApplyMRU, so when the ApplyMRU is seccessfull it goes not to your process where you can have your update statement

Customizing Workflow and Forms

Hi
I have a Approval Workflow with 3 outcomes: Approve: Revise and Reject. I added another outcome such as Revise.
I find by default on one Approval Form in the Workflow using SPD. I need to add another Form which will send back the Comments to the Initiator to Revise the form and resend it back to the Approver.
Kindly let me know for any pointers.
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create an form to get the users’ comments for the initiator approval.
Per my knowledge, it’s by design that we can’t directly modify the approval task form in SharePoint 2013.
As a workaround, you can create a new task content type to apply it to the task process action in SharePoint workflow.
Also, you can try to create a new list to add user information and custom the list form, create a SharePoint 2013 Approval Workflow for this new list to assign the tasks to the corresponding users, then you can get their corresponding users’ comments for
the initiator approval.
For more information, you can refer to:

Task form with inputFile and BPEL

Hi.
I put an InputFile control in a task form and I have to pass uploaded files back to the BPEL process. I have found some examples of file uploading using ADF but none consider integration with BPEL.
Could you help me please?
Thanks in advance.

Hi john_d
I got the solution to customize the Workflow task form. We cannot customize the workflow task form from InfoPath 2013, and if some how you are able to publish the task form it then when you publish your workflow then it your workflow will overwrite
the default task form to your customized one.
So the solution for it is that whatever fields you want to add to the task form you can just in "TASK FORM FIELDS" and it will display in your task form when you publish your workflow.
