<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=054094722-11022009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>One option is to use a UWL XML configuration file to override
the standard decision step actions with your own actions. Just make sure
whatever you call either closes the workitem (e.g. by calling a WAPI) or sends
an event which lets your workflow know that the workitem is
obsolete.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN

MSS, and will get a decision step as a workitem in his UWL.</SPAN></P></DIV>

1:</SPAN></STRONG></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN

will have 3 choices:</SPAN></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN

A</SPAN></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">Choice 1 and 2 will
be continued by another activity step (call_url). Call_url is a method
which calls the FM Call_browser (displaying a certain URL in the
browser).</SPAN></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">When the user clicks
on "Go to URL A", the system should launch the URL(call_url method is called)
without having to open a new workitem called "Call URL".</SPAN></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN

UWL doesn`t support "synchonous dialog chain" / "advance in
dialog".</SPAN></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">The best solution
would of course be, if there is a possibility to make step 1 continue directly
to step 2 without having to go through another workitem (a seamless transition -
like using "advance in dialog" in Business Managers Workplace).</SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>How can this be done?</P></DIV>
