How to display all users in form level?

[Thulasidharan]

Scenario: Following the submission of the application, the task will be given to the supervisor, who will then distribute it among the users.

Here I want to display the list of users in a dropdown list in the supervisor form level. From there, the supervisor will choose the user who needs to work on that task, and he will assign the task.

So here is how I can bring all users to the form level in a dropdown list.

Do you already have the list of users as a variable in the process before the task has been activated?

Hi @Niall

Thanks for your response

No, I just created the users and groups under the users and groups tab under the administration.

How can we make those users into variables? So, can you please guide me on how to fetch the users as a variable and how we can display all the users to the form level in a dropdown list?

Note: I am working on free trial version

[Niall]

You could use this API Call to get users that match a criteria. Then use FEEL to parse the result so that it’s a list compatible with the form.

Ok, Thanks for your response. Let me try this and update.

Hi @Niall

I tried the API call, and I was able to fetch all users in the result variable.

But here I am struck how to map the result values in the form.

Can you please guide me on how to map the result values with the examples?

[Niall]

No problem - can you send me the JSON for the users that you’re getting returned and i’ll show you how you can use FEEL to turn it into a list that will be displayed on a form

Hi @Niall Can you please update me on this

[Niall]

I’ve created a small example that shows

1. A script task that parses the Users object and turns it into a list.
2. A form that take teh varialbe created by the script and displays the list of users.

Create List of users.bpmn (4.7 KB)
List of users.form (662 Bytes)

@Niall Thanks for your support.
