Embedded Interfaces

Hello arjunm497 ,

For your report you have to create and interface which displays a grid with all your tasks. A column must be set as a a!processTaskLink() so that you can click on it and launch the task interface without navigating into tempo.

Regards.

Hi Sara, Thank you for your inputs. The new interface we create will be another report? I mean, if we create an interface, how would you recommend embedding it?

Hi Sara, I tried the mentioned approach. Clicking on a!processTaskLink() launches a new tab and the task is shown in tempo. We don't want the user to hit tempo at all. The task screen should be launched within the embedded interface.

To fill the grid I use this function:

local!report: a!queryProcessAnalytics(
report: cons!POINTER_TO_PROCESS_REPORT,
query: a!query(
pagingInfo: local!pagingInfo,
filter: /* WHATEVER */
),
contextProcessModels: cons!POINTER_TO_PROCESS_MODELS
)

With the data retrieved by the query I fill the grid, and add the mentioned link this way in one of the columns:

a!gridTextColumn(
label: "Task",
field: "one_column",
data: index(local!report.data,"one_column",{}),
links: a!forEach(items: index(local!report.data,"another_column", {}),
expression: a!processTaskLink(
task: fv!item
)
)
),

if you test it in your SITE, it shouldn't be opened in tempo. if you test it in design it will send you to tempo.

Hi Sara,

This works fine on Appian Site I believe. I followed the same set of steps and embedded the interface in our portal - Tasks are launched in a new tab. Appian docs suggest inserting a piece of code in the jsp where we embed the interface, that should take care of it I assume.
