Start Another Process

The Start Another Process action allows you to initiate a new process instance from within the current form, passing along selected data and configuration. This is useful for workflows that require launching sub-processes, related approvals, or follow-up tasks based on the current form's state.

Properties and Explanation

Field Names: Select one or more fields whose values should be included when starting the new process. These fields are passed as part of the data object to the new process instance.

Select Track Id From Form: If checked, the Track ID from the current form will be used for the new process. This links the new process instance to the current workflow for tracking and reference.

Process Version: Choose the version of the process to start. This determines the workflow definition and steps for the new process instance.

Role & Task: Select the role and task that will be set as the initiator for the new process. This controls who is responsible for the first step in the new process.

Use Existing Data Object: If checked, the current form's data object will be reused for the new process. This allows the new process to start with the same data context as the current form.

• The action collects the specified data, initiates the new process, and can display messages or errors based on the result.

• You can use this action to automate the creation of related processes, escalate tasks, or trigger parallel workflows.

Full Configuration Example

Below is a screenshot of the Start Another Process action configuration, showing all properties set for field names, track ID selection, process version, role & task, and data object usage:

• In this example, the new process is started with selected fields, the current track ID, a specific process version, and a designated initiator.

• When the action is triggered, the new process instance is created and linked to the current workflow as configured.
