You can still allow users to edit or take action on items of a grid as part of the same form by storing the selection and sending those items to the process that would do the same work in a related action.

This tutorial explains the ability to select rows in a grid. Assuming there's a unique identifier for those rows you can store the selection and then connect that task node to a sub-process that will run the actual "related action" which at the end is simply a process model, that's what a related action is
forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Recipes.html
In summary the suggestion is with the current features available in SAIL grids store the data you want to pass to the model to perform the related action.
At the end a related action is nothing special but a launcher of a model that has a context to know what record to update, through your process you can mimic the same by passing the data to the sub-process the only difference is that you will not get an automatic context you will be passing the "record" (presumably as a CDT) to the sub-process to perform the update based on the selection of the user

Thanks for your detailed explanation. Unfortunately my requirement is to trigger the process from a tempo dashboard not from a sail form.
We are designing some sort of pmo application. You have one parent dashboard for the pmo in which you have a grid with the projects list and high level information.
Currently when we want to edit project details we need:
1_ click the record link of the project in the pmo grid
2_ once on the project dashboard we need to click on related actions
3_ then we edit the project details
End users have a huge amount of data to edit so we want to avoid step 2 somehow and reach step 3 directly. It seems that we need to trigger a process from a dashboard passing some input data. from what i know it can be done with intuitive url and some javascript in the former interface but not in tempo. Do you confirm?
