convedo Tech Talk

Sometimes we get questions from our customers to very fundamental functionality in OpenText MBPM. One of them was regarding the Alert Message which is visble to users in the ToDo- and Watchlist when using Loopback actions. When using a Loopback action, by default the action updates the Alert Message with the action name of the Loopback action itself. This might not be the expected result. In some cases, the prefered result is to show the previous message, the one which was responsible for the folder ending up at a specific stage. The following quick tip is based on a short cut solution which has been made available by Metastorm many years ago.

Sometimes we get questions from our customers to very fundamental functionality in OpenText MBPM. One of the questions we received recently was around the topic Dynamic Roles and today I post this as a Quick Tip for Metastorm.

Think you know everything there is to know about OpenText MBPM? Prove it with this quiz and let us know on Twitter @convedo how you did.

Key Concepts and Architecture

1. What is the visual representation of structured activities that are broken down into stage(s) and action(s)?
2. What is the connection point for the Metastorm BPM Designer to deploy BPM processes into the Metastorm Database?
3. What is the name of the list of forms which initiate a listed process?

Recently one of our Opentext MBPM customers asked us how to produce a PDF document from data entered into a Rich Text control. We have implemented this functionality into other Metastorm processes in the past and today I thought it would be a good time to share with you a little snippet to get you started.
