Hi Appian community, happy summer,
I have a use case where there is an interface with buttons (Approve, Deny, and Back) on a site page.
I initially set the Approve and Deny buttons up as button widgets and had a startProcess function inside. However, this approach will not display the "wait screen" after triggering the process that is towards the end of the process to "buy time" and to allow the previous request that the user clicked Approve or Deny to disappear when the user clicks FINISH on the wait screen and returns to the site interface. Therefore, the user experience is returning to the site too early to still see the original request on the screen after the user already chose Approve/Deny.
Then, I tried using submitLink which allows startProcessLink and wrapped it in a cardLayout in lieu of button widgets. This approach allowed my chained process to display the wait screen. However, the drawback is there is no way for me to have a confirmation window pop up.
The business user's feedback is having the confirmation window pop up is more important. I want to ask the community if there is a better solution that allows me to have the best of both worlds?
TIA
