Upon clicking on an icon, a process model is called.

Question

Hi, 
 I added an icon column in my record type and I would like to whenever the user clicks on the icon, it calls a process model. Can someone give me some direction on how I can accomplish that? 
 This is what I have so far where it opens the record, but I want to call a process so a user input form is presented to the user. 
 a!documentImage( document: a!iconNewsEvent( icon: "COMPOSE" ), link: a!recordLink( label: rf!ssId, recordType: rp!type, identifier: rp!id ) ) 
 Thank you in advance.

You will want to look into a!startProcessLink() . This can be used, in conjunction with a process model (reference stored in a constant) to start pretty much whatever process you want - when a user clicks on it they will be taken to whatever interface(s) you have defined in that process model, then return to where they started (similar to a related action on a record).

Hi, 
 How it would be if you could use a!dynamicLink() instead of a!recordLink(). 
 a!dynamicLink() has saveInto parameter, u can call a processmodel using it. 
 a!localVariables(
 local!exportId,
 {
 a!linkField(
 labelPosition: "COLLAPSED",
 links: a!dynamicLink(
 label: "Render Excel File",
 saveInto: {
 a!exportProcessReportToExcel(
 report: cons!REPORT,
 documentName: "Report " & now(),
 saveInFolder: cons!TARGET_FOLDER,
 onSuccess: a!save(
 local!exportId,
 fv!newDocument
 )
 )
 }
 )
 )
 }
)
