Got a problem which could be resolved in one of two ways (preferably both).

1) In Work Flow Manager - the list of instances exposes the name of the form. When a single user has had to use the form to submit 20-30 instances - there is no way for them easily to select the exact instance. it would be great if we could select a single form element which would be listed in place of the form name, or in addition to it.

I get lots of mention from client regarding this. At present, the only way to help mitigate this is to use Search mechanisms.

2) Which is sort of ok, except the Search interface is married to the Form Design in ways that limit flexibility. For example, a form element for input may be a textbox; and so also Search uses a textbox to search that field. Preferable may be that we use a SelectList which would databind to all values previously submitted in that textbox (and also honoring permissions etc).

The same limitation exists in the Report Manager, i believe. These things lead me to create custom reporting tools (which may be other EF form, Simple Grid Selected View, etc).

Thanks -

My client also asks me things like this:

1: Can Items be numbered in WorkList so I don't always have to count down to find out which form to look at next?

2: Can you make it so it defaults to WorkList selected so I don't have to click on WorkList every time I return?

Scenario: a thousand submissions are getting processed during same time frame. Work Flow Manager doesn't really give enough info bubbled out to listing to make it easy to know where you are when going from form to form through the entire list. There's a real need to provide numbering and be able to select an item or two from the form to expose as identifiers when in list view.

Are things like this under consideration?

1. Have you considered using the Report Manager to emulate the Worklist page of the Workflow Manager module. Using the Report Manager you could then select the field(s)/columns(s) to display instead of the fixed columns displayed in the Workflow Manager module.

2. You should be able to set the Default view by first selecting the Worklist view then click on Default View. This will then set the default view to Worklist instead of My Forms.
