Hold in Kiosk

With this node you can put a workable on hold in the workflow.

The workable stays on hold until a user intervention takes place. This intervention releases the workflow.

The node has the following configuration options:

  • Kiosk parameters: here you can configure the parameters for the custom form that is displayed in KIOSK. This form fields needs to be filled in by the KIOSK user. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder.

    See Form Builder for more information.

  • Use Job Form: if you select this checkbox, a Job Form is used to add new or edit existing job data.
    • If the values were already in the initial form data, they can be edited in the form.
    • If the values were not in the initial form data, the new values will be added.
    The created data will be assigned to a single variable which can be used in the Create Job node.
  • Job Form Name: here you can define the name of the Job Form that you specified in the Name field in the Handle Form node.
  • Job Data Variable Name: here you can define the name of the variable where the created data of the Job form will be assigned to, or where they are read from (in case they already exist).

  • Editable files: here you can specify one or more files that the user can edit. You can leave this parameter empty if the user is not allowed to edit any files while the workable is on hold. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder.
  • Viewable files: here you can specify one or more files that the user can view. You can leave this parameter empty if the user is not allowed to view any files while the workable is on hold. You can specify a folder URL. If you have CLOUDFLOW Plug-in Suite installed, you can select this link in Illustrator, which opens the folder in the Finder/File Explorer. Select the pencil to open Expression Builder.
  • Use File Store Access: if you select this checkbox, you can edit the file directly on the File store. If you leave the checkbox unselected, the file is downloaded to the local folder configured in CLOUDFLOW PLUGIN-IN SUITE SETTINGS > Work Folder and you can edit the file from this location.
    Note: This checkbox is only useful in case of a CLOUDFLOW Plug-in Suite setup. See CLOUDFLOW Plug-in Suite for more information.
  • Enable this option if you have a setup where the editable files can be edited directly on the file store (for example in PACKZ). In this case no upload/download is needed, and CLOUDFLOW will check if files are edited when the workable continues.

  • File Upload: here you can specify if a user can upload additional files in KIOSK. Options:
    • Disabled: if you select this option, the user cannot upload additional files.
    • Enabled, One: if you select this option, the user can and must upload exactly one additional file.
    • Enabled, One Or More: if you select this option, the user can upload one or more additional files, but at least one.
    • Enabled, None or One: if you select this option, the user can upload one or none additional files.
    • Enabled, None, One Or More: if you select this option, the user can upload any number of additional files.
  • Upload Location: here you can indicate where the uploaded files are stored on the server before they enter the flow. Each file will be stored in a unique folder inside the specified location and needs to be moved into the correct location by the flow if needed.
  • Upload Timeout: here you can specify how long an uploaded file will be kept in the upload folder before it is removed if it is not used for a real submit.

    Example

    Suppose you upload one ore more files in KIOSK. They are stored in the folder you specified in Upload Location. However, for some reason you do not submit anything (for example because the connection was broken, or you decide to do something else). In that case, the uploaded files are on the server but will never be used. With this time-out you can specify after how long such files are removed from the server.

  • Timeout: here you can specify how long a workable should wait before automatically continuing.
  • Routing: here you can specify the possible decisions for the user. Each entry corresponds with a specific output connector. Each entry will be visible for the user in KIOSK. When the user makes a decision, the workable is released.
  • Default Connector: here you can select the connector that will be selected if the workable continues because the time out was reached.
