I am looking to use camunda to model a flow chart. instances of the flow chart would be manually processed (ie. not via the api but by humans clicking). but I fail to grasp camunda’s UI … how can I advance the process instance via the UI?
where can I move forward towards the right, ie. “Meal?”
Lucas,
Welcome to the Camunda Forum!
You’ll need to use the Tasklist application to update user tasks. Once the “Decide what’s for dinner” task is completed in the Tasklist, the workflow engine will automatically move toward the right, and evaluate the “Meal?” condition, starting either the “Prepare chicken” or “Prepare salad” task, which will then show up in the tasklist as well.
is there a simpler way to use the camunda UI? maybe my use case isn’t what it is intended for but I basically want to use camunda to ask yes/no questions as they work through a flow chart
note this flow chart does not show the questions. but in my dream setup, the question would be presented, the user chooses yes or no and then the next question would be presented.
You could collect all your variables in one user task, then when it’s completed, evaluate your decisions using a DMN to determine if a transparency report is required.
If Yes, then a User Task of “Write Transparency Report” would be assigned to the user.
It looks like you could make use of a “Collect” hit format on the DMN.
that sounds like a viable solution!
