A user step contains a sequence of interaction items, like input controls, lists and static texts. Each interaction item type has a number of properties and preferences. Extend User step in the tree beside to read about all the different user controls.
A user step can have multiple exits that will appear like buttons in the clients. There is no restriction on how many exits that it is possible to have, but too many buttons in the client (especially in the mobile clients) can look messy, therefore it can sometimes be better to use a sub workflow instead of a button.
If a user step got one exit step it's automatically set to default but when having more than one exit you have to manually set one exit to default, otherwise no exit will be selected automatically when using enter or scanning in a workflow.
Click to open the exit step and choose default.
The first exit button is set to default in the Web Client and the priority of the buttons is set to show in which order they should be displayed.
Tick the box Always Enabled if an exit should be available even if mandatory data in the user step is missing.
If data is partly entered in the user step from which an always enabled exit is used, the data is not cleared but can be used later in the workflow. The workflow designer should take care when using always enabled exit so the next step is not dependent of data from the exited step.
A pinned user step are an information
It is only possible to use Header, Static Text, Labeled Static Text, Link and List Presentation in pinned user steps, this because a pinned user step is only a way to show the user information.
The pinned user step will show up in the side of the screen, and the user need to tap/click on the icon to extend or collapse the pinned user step. In the below picture is the pinned user step to the left and the regular user step to the right. If there is more then one pinned user step in the workflow, will the pinned user step be replaced when the user steps over another pinned user step.
From the user step it's possible to edit the text that is displayed in the historical view in the clients.
Click on historical to configure the historical view. Then enable show in history to be able to see the text in the clients. Enter the preferred text into the text, title and value field.
In Universal windows client the configured history step looks like this:
The designer allows for drag-and-drop interaction with the user step. The user can simply drag one item on the left bar and drop it inside the design area. The designer allows for 1, 2, 3 and 4 columns to be added in one row. The web client will expand or shrink depending on the amount of columns added in the designer step.
