Introduction

In a nutshell, the Process Enhancement Plugin is a set of four plugins to automatically generates the approval and rejection buttons in the datalist and form screens.

This is a free plugin downloadable from Joget Marketplace.

The Process Enhancement Plugin is made up of the following plugins:

1. Process form modifier (New form plugin to add action buttons to the form, such as "Approve" or "Reject", etc. ).
2. Two process generators (Wizards to auto-generate the datalist, userview, process design and process mappings).
3. Process list (A new userview menu to display action buttons in the datalist, such as "Approve" or "Reject", etc. ).
4. Datalist actions (internal to items 1 and 2 above).

Get Started

The easiest way to see how the Process Enhancement works is to create a new form and use the "App Generator > Generate Process - Approval Process" button in the form to automatically build the app. Here are the steps:

1. Download the plugin from Joget Marketplace and import it into your Joget platform via Manage Plugin (See Figure 1).

Figure 1 

2. Return to All Apps and click on the Design New App. Provide the app details and click on the Save button.

3. Click on the Create new form and add two fields:

a. A hidden field with id = 'status' and Workflow Variable field = 'status' 

b. A textfield field with id = 'request'

4. Save your form.

5. Click on the green button called App Generator then click on the Generate Process - Approval Process (See Figure 2).

6. Close the form and return to the "Design App" page. You will notice that the App Generator has created the datalist and userview records for you.

10. In the app, click on the Approval menu. You will immediately see something new; the datalist has "Approve, Reject, Clarify, Reassign" buttons below the list. These buttons were generated by the new Process List userview plugin (See Figure 4).

11. Now click on the View hyperlink in the Approval datalist.

12. The form will open and you will again see something new, the form has "Approve, Reject, Clarify, Reassign, Save As Draft, Cancel" buttons. These buttons were generated by the new Process Form modifier plugin (See Figure 5).
