Hi All,
Is it possible to have some type of "Workflow" to show the user where a task is at the moment? I know we can see it in the actual process model in the monitor view but is this possible in an interface? for example,
a submitter fills in a form then it goes to the manager he approves then it goes to the supervisor and he approves or denies and then it completes the task.
Is there a way to have some kind of visual in an interface to show where at is the task at the moment? something like
submitted----------------------> Manager-----------------> Supervisor---------------> completed . Just so for example the supervisor will know at what part of the workflow is the task at.
Thanks in advance

I'm aware of milestone bars but they can be used directly with tasks itself?
You can query the data and set the milestone status according to that data.
I typically persist the process status to the database which I can the use to display e.g. a milestone.
you mean like having a field for example as "status" and every time an user completes a task you change it , for example after form is submitted is changed to submitted after manager approved change it to first approval, and so on. Is this what you are suggesting?
Yes.
As an alternative, you can use process reports to find the active task.
The benefit of persisting this to the database is long term storage, independent of process data management.
