Hi Jennifer
0. Yes, it does work this way.
1. I don't believe so, but it's not my area of expertise.
2. To disable bits of a form, I usually create a hidden field on the form. Then in the workflow, I use the SetValue qpac to set its value to something like "DISABLE". On the form:ready even on that field, I have Javascript something like:
if (this.rawValue == "DISABLE") {
SomeField.access = "readOnly";
// etc
}
3. Yes. Each user needs to set their preferences indicating that they want to be notified when an item appears in their worklist. Or you can set this as the default.
4. You don't need to do anything with the AWS fields, other than ensure that they are there. Use the AWS supplied submit button, rather than one of your own.
5. createTask.do usually indicates that Reader is not installed, or not installed properly.
I'd highly recommend the Adobe Workflow training course - it's excellent!
Good luck!
