Can you have different Process Flow Formatter for Projects

Andrew Payze · ‎08-19-2019

Hi,

is there a way to show different process flow (formatter) based on a specific field?

We have different types of projects with different types of phases, like construction, IT deployments. These have different types of phases. A the moment we have a field that defines the types of projects and fields for the different phases.....

we know how to create the different process flow in system UI->process flow. Is there a UI / BR / CS that can determine which process flow to display based on a specific field?

Tx

Hi Andrew,

Use UI macro for conditional process flow formatters. In below code change according to your conditions.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<tr>

<div>

<tr>

<g2:flow_formatter var="jvar_flows" table="$[__ref__.getRecordClass()]" current="$[__ref__]" />

<g2:evaluate var="jvar_elements" jelly="true" object="true">

var afterCurrent = false;

var tableText = '';

var show = [];

var label = "";

var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_process_flow");

gr.addQuery("table", current.sys_class_name);

gr.orderBy("order");

gr.query();

while(gr.next()){

//Check to see if the record should be displayed. If so add element to array.

//Array info

// show[] -> Each element is a flow formatter record to display

// show[].label -> Label for the flow formatter to display.

// show[].state -> used to indicate the state of the flow formatter.

// Possible values: past, current, future

// show[].next_state -> used to indicate the state of the next flow formatter.

// Possible values: past, current, future

if(GlideFilter.checkRecord(current, gr.u_view_condition)){

var item = new Object();

item.label = gr.getValue("label");

//Check if this is the current flow that should be green/selected.

if(GlideFilter.checkRecord(current, gr.condition)){

item.state = "current";

item.next_state = "future";

//Once current is found update the previous element

if(show.length > 1){

show[show.length - 1].next_state = "current";

}

afterCurrent = true;

} else {

if(afterCurrent){

item.state = "future";

item.next_state = "future";

} else {

item.state = "past";

item.next_state = "past";

}

show.push(item);

}

//clear the next_state element so that the process flow has a pointer at the end.

show[show.length - 1].next_state = "";

if(!afterCurrent){

show[show.length - 1].state = "future";

}

show;

</g2:evaluate>

<j2:forEach items="$[jvar_elements]" var="jvar_el">

<g2:evaluate jelly="true">

var label = jelly.jvar_el.label;

var state = jelly.jvar_el.state;

var next_state = jelly.jvar_el.next_state;

</g2:evaluate>

$[label]

</td>

</td>

</j2:forEach>

</tr>

</table>

</div>

</td>

</tr>

</j:jelly>

I am trying to do exactly this and need a bit of help understanding this solution.

I have a custom process flow formatter that i want to show on a particular view of a record.

(There is another process flow formatter oob that i do NOT want to show on this view)

in each of the sys_process_flow records

i have a condition: x_myApp_state == 'New' (for example)

I think i need another condition that is: record_view_name == 'my new view'

how do i get the name of the view for that condition?

or is my logic wrong?
