Function

a!startProcessLink( label, processModel, processParameters, bannerMessage, showWhen )

Defines a link to start a process and navigates the user through any initial chained forms. Users are shown the start form or first chained attended node and any subsequent chained forms. When the user submits the last form, the chain completes and the original interface is reloaded. Links can be used in charts, grids, hierarchy browsers, images, link fields, milestones, pickers, and rich text.

Usage considerations

Using start process links offline

• Start process links will not function on the mobile application on a form that is configured to be available offline.

Examples

Since process model constants are specific to each system, this example does not evaluate in your Test Rules interface. Use it only as a reference.
