Page History

The coding must be adapted individually for each template. During execution of the code, the instance data is assigned to the corresponding placeholders in the template and the file is downloaded.

Allow Usage of Start Link without Role Check ( PAS 19.1 )

From role-based apps, you can only access linked apps if role-specific start links (Process App - Create and Process App Overview) have also been created in the child app. If you activate the option Allow Usage of Start Link without Role Check, a user can also access the data of the child app if only a start link without role check has been created.

Configure Column Type

This option allows you to define your own column types. You could replace actual values with other output values, for example to display a picture instead of a value from the container. In order to define when a set value is replaced by a defined value, conditions have to be defined. How to configurate a column type is described on page Defining Column Types.

You can only use the column wizard if the model was assigned to a process app. Otherwise the button remains inactive:

Example: Overview configuration to display uploaded data

	A Files Upload element is inserted in a responsive form. It is named Upload Pictures. Upload was entered as Field Name in Container.
	While configuring the overview, add .name to the Field Name in Container. As a multi file upload element is used, its content is saved as array. So you must also specify the number of the value you want to display (value 0 is referencing the first value of an array).
	When completing the form, the element Upload Pictures is used to upload the file Irenes Avatar.
	When opening the overview, the name of the uploaded file (including the file format) is shown in the corresponding column Picture as: Irenes Avatar.png.
	A click on the instance in the instance table...
	... opens the corresponding input form. The element Upload Pictures was used to save the file. Therefore the link Irenes Avatar.png can now be used to download the corresponding file.

Forms always have to be attached to a function. When modeling an EPC you may use the following form combinations:
