Start Process from List Hyperlink Action

Introduction

Starting a process directly from a List in Joget using a hyperlink is an effective way to streamline workflows and improve user interaction. This article guides you through configuring a List Hyperlink Action to initiate a process, including setting up the necessary elements in Joget's UI Builder and List Builder.

How does it work?

1. First, in the UI Builder, assign a Menu ID to the Run Process element. This ID will help you reference the element later when configuring the hyperlink in the List.
   

2. In the List Builder, set the properties of the List Hyperlink Action to match the Menu ID assigned to the Run Process element.

   Optionally, initialize the Run Process form with default values by entering corresponding parameter names in the Hyperlink Parameters. Use the prefix fk_ or fke_ for these parameters, where fke_ indicates that the field is editable.
   

   You can also map the form to the Run Process activity in your process's activity mapping to ensure that the form fields are pre-populated correctly.
   

3. After publishing the UI, check how the hyperlink is constructed in the List and test starting the process from this link.
   

4. Clicking the hyperlink will start a new process instance, with the form partially filled based on the parameters provided.
