How to navigate from one form to other without Process Model and by passing on the fields from main UI to child UI?

Question

Scenario: Trying to load a form with existing data where only few fields are editable. Once user edits and submits form details, entire form CDT is expected to be passed on to the next page. The second page we need to navigate is just a read only form. 
 Couple of recipes would be great, on how to implement this with a process model and without process model? please help.

Please try to use a wizard layout. docs.appian.com/.../ux_wizards.html This should exactly fit your profile. Please refer this link for reference: docs.appian.com/.../recipe_build_a_wizard_in_sail.html

Hi @anushas0002 firm wizard is the best option for your use case. Where you can define one section fir each form content. 
 So fir example, if you have 5 forms then you can define their contents into 5 different sections and put that under a single form. 
 Where each one of the section must be displayed on a certain condition. So that, user should be able to any one section at a time. 
 Also you need to define the buttons in such a way so that, initially while displaying the first section, it should display 2 buttons i.e. Cancel, Next 
 While showing rest of the sections excluding the last one, you should display 2 buttons i.e. Next and Previous 
 And while showing the last section, you should display 2 buttons I.e. Submit, Previous. 
 You can achieve this using the manipulation over a local variable. 
 Here the main factor is,how you manipulate and make the use of showWhen attribute of section layout and button widget submit to display the section and button conditionally. 
 Also additionally you can add more details such as milestones etc.. 
 Hope this will help.

You could put both forms into one interface and then show/hide each based upon a local variable that is updated when you click the button on the first form. In this case you would just use a!buttonWidget rather than a!buttonWidgetSubmit for the first form.

Hi,, 
 
I believe all the below answers/suggestions should work. But as per performance and best practices try using a choose function where u can call two or more different forms from a main form. This will take of the load when u are using multiple interfaces and hiding it using showWhen functionality. 
 
Let me know if you need more help on this. 
 
Thanks,
