Question:
Hello! First greetings from me to the whole community!
I've got a small problem:
In my workflow i've got a decision step and if alternative 1 is chosen an "ending event" should end the workflow, so far so good - it works fine...
but for the user I still need a "waiting task" that displays "you have chosen alternative 1, now please do XY" (XY is done in an external transaction for triggering the ending event).
this task should stay in the business workplace of the user and the user should only be able to read it until(!) the event is triggered.
then it should disappear automatically from the business workplace...
so I need some kind of "blind task" that is only waiting for the event but is still in the business workplace and showing some info to remember the user to do XY...
which method should I take? or have I got code a new one?
THX very much!!
Daniel
Answer:
That's my best advise, we have got a similar situation in here and we ended simply having to develop a new one not ideal but.....a solution
Hope helps

Answer:
hmmmm and how exactly did you do that?
my last idea was to build a decision step with only one option...
text will be "you have to do XY to end this workitem, blabla"
and when the user clicks on the ok-button the workitem will appear again because of the "until-loop" that only ends when the event is created
not a very good solution because the scheduling mechanisms (for example "after 24h do...") will not work any more because every time the users clicks the "ok" it will count from zero...
so any better ideas?
