Interface submission end with page to show the Entity ID

If this is the end of the user interaction, in other words you want to show them the created ID but they don't need to enter any more info or (necessarily) click anything to complete the process or have the process otherwise move onward, then my normal suggestion is to make the task have no buttons at all, so that the user HAS to click away (back to the site / record listing / etc); as for the task in the process flow, give it a timeout of 1 minute at which point it'll move on to the next part of the process (or to the process end).

I mean is it possible to show the Id in the task and backend process is keep going to next node. I saw my vendor can build the task to show the ID, if I don't click the "Close" button, the process flow still can go to the next node.
If i wait for a minute to click the close button, it is no any error said the task is completed.

Since no source code for this application, do you have any advises for this setup?

loggedInUser() is my testing only which is not Mike suggestion.

Hi Mike, I have one more question, if user closed the browser directly in the task. Is it will be pending of the process flow? Is it possible to bypass automatically and user click the close button is not like to submit the form, thanks.

I'm confused as to what part of my comment prompts this reply? You'll note that I advised OP to use pp!initiator as the task assignment value.

Calling loggedInUser() inside a model will not work. This is only valid inside interfaces or expressions called from interfaces.

Great, glad to help. At your convenience it would be cool if you could upvote and/or "verify" any of my answer(s) that you found helpful.

If the user is chaining in from a Start form, then the assignment value will be overridden anyway. But the process model will require you to set an assignment value on the task, and the quick way to do that is to set the assignment to pp!initiator (which is the equivalent of "loggedInUser()" when in a process model, at least one with just one task).

Hi Mike,

Great, test it and work. For this task, is it no concern for the assignee of the task? or I necessary to configure it to loggedInUser()? thanks.

For this you would only need to use a basic User Input Task, not a subprocess. User Input Tasks are the main way to show a user-interactive SAIL form within a running process, so you should become familiar with these. Many times we'll just say "task" as a short reference for a User Input Task node.

Thanks Mike, I want to clarify, is it mean create a sub-process? and then the sub-process will show the interface with ID and detail, is it correct? I have tried but still can show the sub-process form......

Sure - just add a final task in your process (make sure to "enable activity chaining" on all flow lines in your process between this and the prior task). On this form you can add whatever informational display you wish, reflecting the data you've written to the database / etc.
