Open AEM Inbox as a dialog using "Dialog Participant Step"

[#1]

Hi,

I'm creating a workflow and using "Dialog Participant Step". As part of the dialog I've created a multifield.

I want to open a dialog which display AEM Inbox (/aem/inbox) or display list of workflow items. Also I want to select WF Item and store into the field.

Really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,

Ritesh

Hi @rp12,

Could you please elaborate on what action you are expecting on Dialog Participant step (with dialog having multifield) and in general brief functionality expected out of that workflow model on the whole.

Hi @Vijayalakshmi_S,

I want to open Dialog Participant step when I approve/reject the WF. When it is opened, I want to select more workflows assigned to current User/Group and approve/reject all at once. I'm not sure how to open a dialog which displays Workflows and select &store them into multifield. Also which dialog/field to use (e.g. pathfield) or create a custom dialog/field.

Really appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks,

Ritesh

Hi @rp12,

Please note there might be means to get the list of outstanding action items for a specific user (as it lists in User Inbox). 

But having them displayed in Dialog of Dialog Participating Step and hence take desired action of each of the action items from being there is not applicable/deviating from the purpose of workflow(sequence of steps pertaining to specific Payload).

When a specific user makes an attempt to complete/reject the Dialog participant step from his/her inbox, it will list other action items for the user(as a result of other workflow/workflow triggered on different payload) for the desired action in Inbox.
