Input boxes in Forms and evaluation in gateways

[Jose Franco]

Good afternoon,

I recently started using jBPM Business Central to create small process diagrams.

I want to explore the capabilities of this system in the creation of small forms that are executed in each BPMN Task. In this sense, I am trying to understand if there is a mechanism that allows the user to insert a value into an input box on a form and that the value that is inserted can be evaluated in a gateway.

Let's say I have the following BPMN diagram:

Meanwhile, in the task called "InserValue", I have created the following form:

Essentially my problem is that I can't find in the options available in Business Central a way of creating a variable that is associated with the value that the user enters in that input box so that it can be used in the gateway:

For example, in the "Assignments" menu, in either Data Inputs or Data Outputs, there is no reference to the input box I created in the form:

I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any reference to this in the available documentation.

Thank you for your attention

Jose,

I create some videos about that, you can access it here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwOckzx4HKOYYcN7Oj4uyQ

Good afternoon,

I've been reviewing your videos and have made some changes to Business Central jBPM.

First of all, I created the variable "insertValue" of type Integer, as shown in the image below:

Then, in the BPMN Task called "InsertValue-Task", I added the following input and output variables, as shown in the image below:

Then in each of the gateway outputs, I inserted the following conditions:





Essentially, if the user enters a value greater than or equal to 2, it should go to the "Ok-Task" task, otherwise it should go to the "NotOk-task" task.

Finally, in each of the "Ok-Task" and "NotOk-Task" tasks, I again set the InsertValue variable as the input variable:





In the next step, I generated the forms according to your videos:



I compiled the work and deployed it.

All the tasks I created are associated with the user "Maciek". I then logged in with this user:






I clicked on the "Process Definitions" option and clicked on "Start" in order to start the process:



I entered the value "10" in the form presented to me:





Then in Task Inbox I see that there is a transition to the "InsertValue-Task" task:

When I run the process, I see that the "Ok-Task" and "NotOk-Task" tasks are executed simultaneously!  

-Since I entered the value 10, shouldn't only the "Ok-Task" task be executed? It seems that the system is not making a decision about the value that has been entered.

What could be the root problem in this situation?

Thank you for your attention.

Jose,

When you create the condition, you have 2 types Inclusive (+) so you can make parallel processes or Exclusive (X) to workflows decisions like the one that you like to do, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7q112UWe9w&t=6s the video on minute 12:20.
