Run Process from list

Since the process you're executing needs to be dynamic, you'll likely need to launch the process via code. That could be done in one of two ways:

Option 1, have a button that shows when a row is selected. See https://customerfx.com/article/responding-to-a-row-selected-event-in-a-creatio-freedom-ui-list/

Option 2, use the list's row actions menu and add an item to run the process there. See https://customerfx.com/article/adding-row-action-menu-items-to-a-creatio-freedom-ui-list/

As for actually starting the process via code, see here: https://customerfx.com/article/starting-a-process-from-client-side-code-on-a-creatio-freedom-ui-page/

Hi, 

Thank you for the resources. Just a clarification, for the handler:
    {
                request: "cfx.someBusinessProcess",
                handler: async (request, next) => {
                    const id = request.recordId;
                    const bpm = request.bpmId;

                    const handlerChain = sdk.HandlerChainService.instance;
                    const result = await handlerChain.process({
                        type: "crt.RunBusinessProcessRequest",
                        processName: "request.bpmId",
                        processParameters:{
                            recordId: await request.$context.Id
                        },
                        $context: request.$context
                    });
                    if (result.success){
                        Terrasoft.showInformation("SUCCESS!!!!");
                    }
                    return next?.handle(request);
                }
can i just use request.bpmId, where bpm.Id is:

"params": {
                            "itemsAttributeName": "GridDetail_bp2nlc5",
                            "recordId": "$GridDetail_bp2nlc5.GridDetail_bp2nlc5DS_Id",
                            "bpmID": "$GridDetail_bp2nlc5.GridDetail_bp2nlc5DS_UsrBPMLookup"

First of all, I assume that request.$context.Id you're wanting the Id of the parent record (the record that the list is for). Correct? (not the id of the row in the list)

If you're using option 1 (a button) then you'd need to use request.$context.ContactsList_ActiveRow to get the Id of the selected row. You can't use params to pass values from the list to the handler since the list isn't firing the request, the button is. Then, using that Id you could read that record using a model query - see https://customerfx.com/article/retrieving-a-record-via-the-model-class-equivalent-to-entityschemaquery-in-a-creatio-freedom-ui-page/ (it's likely possible to get the other values from the row's data source, but I've not tried)

If you're using option 2 (row action menu), then the request is firing from the list and you can use params to pass in the values to the handler, including the Id and the process.

Hi, 

Im using option 2 where Im adding a menu item. Im passing my parameters for the id of the row selected and trying to read the value in the BPM column, which is a lookup. 

"params": {
                            "itemsAttributeName": "GridDetail_bp2nlc5",
                            "recordId": "$GridDetail_bp2nlc5.GridDetail_bp2nlc5DS_Id",
                            "bpmID": "$GridDetail_bp2nlc5.GridDetail_bp2nlc5DS_UsrBPMLookup"

The record ID seems to be reading fine but i cant seem to get the BPM lookup entry. It says that no bpm found. Im not sure what the issue is if you could help me out with that. 

Thanks

Anjali,

Are you getting the param correctly from the list? If not, make sure the attribute name is correct and matches the attribute as defined in the viewModelConfigDiff.
