Hi , I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on how to approach creating functionality that I would have usually carried out using CRM dialog s.
Following the news the Microsoft are deprecating dialogs I am having some difficulty is implementing the same functionality using the MS's suggested replacements of Business Process Flows. The requirement i have is to initiate a process and then ask the user a number of questions.
For example, let's say for arguments sake that I have a custom entity called Application. I have a button on the command bar, labelled Cancel Application.
When an application is cancelled I would like to ask some questions around the reason for the cancellation. Previously I would have launched dialog to implement this, however I am struggling to implement this using BPF's.
I have created functionality that can launch a BPF from a button, so I was thinking of having a BPF with 2 stages, the first asking the questions, then the second as a confirmation (I need the second as you cannot run an ondemand workflow on exist of the final stage). However the user experience is not the best, and I am not sure if you can have multiple instances of the same BFP, so if the user cancels an application, then changes their mind, and subsequently cancels again then I am not sure if the BPF will load up on the final stage.
Is there anyone out there who can provide an advise on this. My client does not want to use a large BPF to manage the process because their process is very adhoc and does not really suit a BPF to run the who application process.
thanks in advance
