Function

The UITask activity allows the creation of user interfaces, which will be displayed to users under the My Tasks menu. UITasks have a special configuration, which can be accessed with the button in the top left corner.

The End activity marks the end of a workflow. This activity is not necessarily needed on a technical level, but provides a way to visually mark the end of the workflow more easily.

Configuring the UI

uiconfigurator

The UI configuration allows for the creation of custom UIs using simple elements. More complex UI elements can be added using plugins.

With the switch "Start UI" the UI will be used when starting the workflow manually.

With the switch "Keep UI open", the UI will not close immediatly but will wait if the following UI in the workflow is assigned to the same user and display it.

The "Task name" can be set manually or via a string variable. This name will show up in the "My Tasks" overview.

The switch "Simple Mode" or "Export Mode" switches between the graphical configurator and the raw JSON editor.

Capture data

The table capture data allows for the creation of the individual UI elements. Choose a type and the respective options will be available in the table row.

The following types are available:

Label	A simple text label that can't be changed by the user.
Textbox	A text box which allows for data entry by the user.
Link	A hyperlink.
Line Break	A line break.
Dynamic Page	A Plugin that can add more complex UI elements, such as date pickers and PDF viewers. Complicated pre-made UIs can be loaded this way as a single element.

Custom buttons
