What is the difference between Open a Worklist Item and Action a Worklist item?
How should they be used? and in which cases?
Thanks,
Will
Dear ,
Open worklist item , literaly means "open" , its opening the worklist item ,
lets say u got activity named "X" , if u have smartform event , or any client event , the k2 studio will auto generate a rule in the smart form to open the worklist item X
this rule will change the status of the task item from available to open , also it is used when u want to retrieve data from workflow data fields to smartform fields ,
Action worklist item , its actioning the task , if we use the same example like "X" activity , and u have smartform client event ,
u will need a submit button to move the task from activity X to activity Z for example , this submit button , how will it know wt action to do ? or how to move to next activity ? the "action worklist item" will define that , depending on the "actions" u define previously in k2 studio activity , in the smartform wizard u will need to define wt actions could the user perform , (Approve , Reject) .
I hope my explanation helps and make sense ,
Regards.

Hi Ahmad and Will,
I would like a smart form submitter to action a task as he is in the form but has not yet clicked submit. If I put in a smart form event before the submit event, will “Open a worklist Item” allow me to do this? The sequence would go something like this
- Open an new form
- Fill in the non default info required
- Click a button to reveal another view with terms and conditions. It also displays the footer which holds the drop down list for the task actions.
- Submitter reads the terms and conditions and them chooses what action he wants to take
- Clicks Submit
- Form goes on to the next client activity.
