EDIT vs VIEW clarification

kklosson

According to the User's Guide, the difference is that the VIEW action, when called in a process, present the object form and continues processing rules, whereas the EDIT action waits for the object to be committed before continuing. I have a simple process that uses the FIND action to find an object, then the EDIT action to edit the object. The form being used has wizard style navigation. When I use the VIEW action, the wizard navigation buttons do not appear. Shouldn't they?

I just checked, the only place I use is in create mode with "Enter New" and shows the buttons. Do the buttons show with "Enter New" mode?

I've never tried to use VIEW with wizard navigation. What are you trying to accomplish?

kklosson

It's just a form that works best with wizard nav. I suppose I should test this with a non wizard form.

And is there a reason you need to use VIEW in this situation?

I would like to terminate the processes as soon as possible. I'm chasing down issues with processes not terminating... Sometimes these processes don't terminate.
