AEM 6.5 : How to add customization after selecting particular workflow to run ?

Hi All,

 

Got one requirement to add below customization if we select a particular custom workflow (e.g. Test workflow) for page as well as assets.

  • One path brower to select a path 
  • One text field

How can we add customization to get those two field after selecting a particular workflow from dropdown.

 

Can you please help me to achieve this functionality.

Hi @malaya_ranjand4 ,

I think that your requirement can be achieved in a very good way by using the Dialog Participant Steps.

 

In order to satisfy your requirement you need to:

1. Create a dialog which contains the element that you want to propose when the editor run the workflow

2. Open your workflow model

3. Add a Dialog Participant Step and configure it with the dialog created in 1.

4. Add the new data in order to be forwarded to the other steps

 

You can find in [0] an example on how to do this.

This link will be helpful

 

https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/experience-manager-64/developing/extending-aem/customizing-consoles-touch.html

 

You can overlay this node

/libs/cq/gui/content/common/startbulkworkflows

and then make the changes according to the requirement.  write a script to hide/show the fields according to the selection.

    You can try using variables in your workflow, and then add a Process Step to your workflow to use that information.

    The following docs may be helpful:

    https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/experience-manager-65/developing/extending-aem/extending-workflows/using-variables-in-aem-workflows.html

     

    https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/experience-manager-65/developing/extending-aem/extending-workflows/workflows-step-ref.html

     

    If the values are selected just on front-end, you can create a JS code that reads the values from those selected fields and send it to your backend code(using xhr or FetchAPI) to set some variables, that then can be used in your Workflow.

     

     

    I hope these help !!

        Hi @malaya_ranjand4 ,

         

        Can you brief your requirement that why you want to add these fields,

        Instead of adding these field, you can achieve it by reading properties in the workflow implementation class.

        Your requirement will lead to affect the structure of the workflow dialog. 

        You can also see Dialog participant step here https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/experience-manager-65/developing/extending-aem/extending-workflows/workflows-step-ref.html

         

        Happy Coding 🙂

          By overlaying the /libs/cq/gui/content/common/startbulkworkflows I have achieved the require functionality.

          Thank you all.
