Milestone nodes
A milestone node is used to define how user tasks (which are placed between two milestones - start milestone and end milestone) will be displayed.
Multiple options are available for displaying the content:
Configuring a Milestone node
A combination of start and end nodes can be used to achieve all kinds of a grouping of multiple user task nodes.
To configure a user task to be displayed in a Modal:
- Open Process Designer and start configuring a process.
- Add a user task that you want to display.
- Add a start milestone before the user task.
- Add an end milestone after the user task.
-
Select the start milestone node and open UI Designer - here you can choose from multiple templates of how to display the content.
-
For example, drag and drop the modal template to the canvas.
-
No additional information is required for displaying a user task in a modal view but you can do multiple customizations via the different configurations using the UI Designer.
Available components
Modal
You can configure a start milestone node and an end milestone node before and after a user task. After adding the milestones, you can add a modal template to the start milestone node to display a modal screen (like in the example above).
Page
A basic full page content can be displayed using this kind of template on a milestone start.
Stepper + Steps
To create a stepper architecture:
- First define a milestone start node.
- Then add a Stepper template on the first node (and a milestone end after the first node).
- In between the stepper milestones add for each step a milestone start and a milestone end node with a Step configuration.
For more information about how to create a process with a Stepper + Steps structure, and how to configure the UI, check the following section:
Container
Containers allows us to display multiple user task on the same Page/Modal/Step with a different layout, other than the basic one. You can use Layout tab to play with multiple alignments.
