Accessing data in another incomplete task

mathieud over 7 years ago

Let's say you have 2 tasks running in parallel and you wanted each person to see each other's work while they are completing it. It seems like the only way to achieve this is to put a "Save" button inside that task that writes to a CDT and returns the user to the task. Any simpler ways you can think of that doesn't involve putting a bunch of loop back in the process?

I'm not sure there's really any way to do this without storing the info to the database on some sort of realtime basis. Maybe this calls for some sort of temp data table? The only other thing I can think of is you have your SAIL forms refer directly to PV values, i.e. when one user stores a value into a field, it gets stored directly into the PV - though A) i'm not sure this will actually work as I haven't tried it (and it is certainly not best practices), and B) both user tasks would be required to be within the same process instance.
