Hi

 

 

One issue I want to resolve before my UAT phase on multi stage (state machine) w/f,  is when I click on the Accept button on a Assign Task form, I am directed to the Workflow tasks list.  Obviously this will only confuse my testers as it is not clear why they are viewing this list; let alone what their next action might be.  Hence ,is there a smart way of redirecting my users to the document library that has the associated w/f?

 

I have a 'cloud only' user account so not using outlook desktop should this be part of the problem .

Where the link come from? From an email link?

If you are using a link for example http://site/xxx.aspx?blablabla , add the querystring named Source=PostApprovalPage.aspx

So your link should be http://site/xxx.aspx?blablabla&Source=http://yoursite/default.aspx

Thanks for your reply.

Yes this is from an email link as auto generated by Nintex .  Ok, I will follow your advice and recreate using the query string. I will ten need to test than repeat for every Assign Task.  Why Nintex can't  do this automatically so redirecting back to the list or  email client is beyond me!

I will let you know my progress.

Hi Fernando

Yes that worked.  I am now going to have to edit all my Assign Tasks to remove  the auto generated Task link with my hand crafted link. 

Thanks again

Daniel
