start a process in a new broswer

This might help - docs.appian.com/.../Start_Process_Link_Component.html

It is possible to open a process in new tab. You can construct the start process url by concatenating your site url, page, start process, unique process opaque id and parameters if any. Just make sure the concatenated url is exactly the same as the url which you get while launching the process from site page.

a!linkField(
label: "",
links: a!safeLink(
label: "Process Name",
uri: concat(
"abc/.../",
tostring(
a!startProcessLink(
label: "",
processModel: cons!PROCESS_MODEL_CONS,
).processModelOpaqueId
),
"?parameters=",
tostring(
a!startProcessLink(
label: "",
processModel: cons!PROCESS_MODEL_CONS,
).cacheKey
)
)
)
)

thanks all, I had seen the startprocess link, but had discarded it as I was under the impression that it opened the page in the same tab.
With regard to passing the process fields ... how do i send data thats in a CDT ? I've tried CDt{field1:value} and it's being ignored.

Hi pauls0003, As far as I know, there is no such provision to start a process in a new tab of the browser. Workaround for this we can right click on the mouse to select open link in new tab.

One of the inputs to a!startProcessLink is processParametes which is of type dictionary -

processParameters: {
customer: type!Customer()
} OR

processParameters: {
customer: {
name:ri!name,
age:ri!age
}
}

I have not used this yet but I feel if you pass as dictionary it should work.

Hi pauls,

Refer this link:
docs.appian.com/.../Start_Process_Link_Component.html.It might be helpful.

I've not come across processModelOpaqueId or cachekey before and the search on community and docs only returns this question.

What's the context? At the moment, the only uses I can think of for those attributes are internal.

There used to be a setting in the process modeler when it was open to open future instances in new windows instead of new tabs. I have not seen this setting available in over a year and believe Appian removed the ability. Now the first process model opens in it's own window but other instances open as new tabs in that same window.

Hi, 

Is there a way to close the New Tab opened in web browser after the process completion ?

Thanks,

Priyanka
