Start Process Link

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.

Parameters

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.

Starting autoscaled processes

You can select a process model with autoscale enabled, but any process started with the link will run without autoscaling regardless of its configuration. To monitor any processes started with the link, use the Process Activity tab in the Monitor view.

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.
