It looks like you want to start some other activity(Process Flow) from the current Appian Page. Start Process link will be useful here. Your next activity can be started from this process.

Hi saniyag if I am not wrong, you need to go for wizard where multiple sections are configured within a single form along with some visibility conditions as explained by @mike

If you are working on 17.4 or more than you can use a!startprocesslink and use the process in it.
like.

a!imageField(
images:{
a!documentImage(
document:"image constant",
link:a!startProcessLink(
processModel:"constant of process model type",
processParameters:{
use process parameters
}
)
)
}
)
It calls the process synchronously. You can use multiple images for multiple actions in a single tab.

Thanks

Yes this will work asynchronously.
Then you can use dynamic link to call the interface for creating new object. And for editing on click of button you can update the object details to Database.

Hi saniyag,

According to my understanding you can create buttons for viewing and editing of current objects and you can trigger a process model using a!startProcess on click of that button and that process model should contain start form(your sub interface).
And instead of passing variable you can get the data from Database using query rule.

Hi,

If you are using the Appian 17.4, you can use a!startProcess which will open the another interface from the interface and you can also pass the parameters as well what you needed to have in the another interface

It looks like a Start Process link might be your best option. Your process can be as simple as start node, user input task, end node; or even just start node end node with a start form. Start process links drop users right back to the interface they started from when the process ends. That really sounds like what you want to do.

Hi saniyag,

As per my understanding, You can use the process start form for configuring Multiple actions on a single page, so it can be directly configured in site.

You can make use of a wizard to show your next form after you click on a button in your first form. That will take you to the other interface (form for the creation of new object).

you can find more details here: docs.appian.com/.../recipe_build_a_wizard_in_sail.html

Hi Saniyag,
I guess you want to trigger a process to do some activity from the current form.
If yes have a look into a!startprocesslink(), might be helpful for your usecase?

I'm not really sure what you mean by "link to an action" - that's not really a thing, as long as you're talking about the user staying on the current form at least.

From what I can tell of your description though, it really just sounds like you need to have different sections called by the same form (some of which are called by other forms), which if so, is very possible and fairly standard, and easy to figure out with a bit of experimentation.
