Product notes

Included since V6.2.0.1 interim fix 1, enhanced forms support through Form instance selection dialog

Purpose: Select a subset of instances to work with, from a multiple instance imported form.

Usage:

1.       When dragging a Multiple instance imported form from the Navigation tree and droping onto a process editor, the Form instance selection dialog is opened and the user can select a subset of instances. Based on this subset the human task inputs/outputs will be generated. The existing validation rule, that does not allow the number of inputs to be different from the number of form data elements, will be relaxed in this particular case to allow the use of a subset.

2.       When the user is choosing a multiple instance form by clicking the Browse button in Human task Forms, the Form instance selection dialog is opened.
