Hi,


 


This should be achievable within SmartForms. Just to clarify - you have two forms, each with their own seperate activity, and you would like to start Activity 2 located on Form 2, once Activity 1 on SmartForm is completed? 


 


This should be an easy an simple task that can be done by setting up and assigning a rule to a button. 


 


A 'Navigate to form' rule should be used to navigate to another form.


And the workflow or activity has to be bound to a rule as well, this rule can be as basic as 'When form is Initialised' and will start once the form is loaded.

Hi,

 

Thank you for your reply. The part i am confused is how the "navigate to form" rule will get the context of the process so that my process moves ahead as well??

Is the Activity 1 in Form 1 also implemented in Form 2? Or are there two seperate processes?

Activity1 and activity2 are separate activities in the same process and they have a smartform event each,  essentially smartform1in activity1 and smartform2 in activity 2respectively.

So you would lie to set each activity to be actioned on their respective form? I do not know if this functionality is supported as yet, but I will test around on my side and get back to you.

There is also the possiblility that you can stay on the form and make it appear as though you were going to another.

 

I have been building one main form with hidden views, to maximize on space.  When a task is complete on view 1, I'll hide view 1 (type hide in search under action section), then show view 2.  This allows you to retain the form ID and display data as though they had transitioned to another form.
