a!startProcess() and a!startProcessLink() at one place

ramanh over 4 years ago

Hi,

I have 2 components:

1. a!buttonWidget() with a!startProcess() that starts the asynchronous process

2. a!linkField with a!startProcessLink() that starts my new process

Is there is a way to make these 2 components (buttons) looking the same? As I understand there is no way to start the process from the a!buttonWidget()

Hi ramanh - you can try using the Cards as Buttons Pattern and throw any kind of link into each card (for example a!startProcessLink() or a!submitLink())

Perhaps this is the place for a product enhancement suggestion: Give buttons the optional capability of operating a dynamic link or other kind of link as opposed to their default saveInto behavior. …
