Suggestions on Developing a Simple Web Workflow App

Hello!

I’m a newly-minted Notes developer tasked with developing a web workflow application. Does anyone have any suggestions re: designing one?

I have one primary form, the job request, which goes through 8 approval phases until the request is considered closed. I was thinking of implementing it using one form and just using computed subforms and/or sections to display the appropriate information for each level.

Or should I use several forms instead, with the initial level being the main document?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Isabel,

With the information you provide, I would also create one form and different subforms for each phase or maybe (if it’s rather simple) just put the workflow in a subform and work with hidewhen formulas.

Thanks for the reply. :slight_smile:

I have already created the form and the subforms. I’m now working on making a subform editable or readonly depending on who’s currently accessing the document and what phase the document is in. I’m planning to experiment using a controlled access section or hide-when formulas for fields.

I prefer hide when formulas above controlled access sections, but the choice is yours of course :slight_smile:
