Pop-up screen to enter text

[Roehlen, Peter]

Jeroen,
 
Actually, with a bit of forethought in the design you could make your method
generic (eg the explanation can be passed to the method from the workflow
etc.)  That way, the ABAP development cost/effort would be a one-off and the
solution used over and over again as needed.

Agree that is preferable, depends on how computer literate your average user
is, and how important it is that they actually create the description (there
may be a legal requirement).=20
 
Good thing of a dialogue is that you can block submitting the dialogue until
an actual description has been entered, and that you can put a lot of
explanation text on the dialogue box itself to make life a little easier for
the end user. Also, you can run them from a web inbox as HTML, while you can
not do that with attachments.=20
 
If you do not have those requirements I would prefer the much easier
attachment method, although it is way less cool!

I sometimes just use the "end confirmation" flag in conjunction with a good
work item long text to do this. It requires a little more user
familiarisation than something custom coded, but I just say in the text that
they should create an attachment before finally confirming the step, and in
the step descriptions where I want users to read the attachments, I say so
also.. works most of the time!
 
Hth,
Stephan

Hi Mark, some time ago I solved a similar requirement in the following way:
 
Use a modal dialogue window in a custom method, this will allow you to
create a simple custom pop up screen. You only need one multiline text field
on it and an 'OK' button. The text can be taken from the dialogue window as
a table back into the method.
 
When the workitem is executed and you do a call screen in your method to the
dialogue screen the pop up window comes up as a dialogue box on top of the
workplace.
 
 
Dialogue windows can be created using:
Tools -> Abap -> Development -> Dialog modules
 
 
Hope this helps,
 
 
Jeroen

Hi Folks,
 
In a decision task, person can take specific action say 'approve' or
'disapprove'. When 'disapprove' is selected, the WFinitiator should know why
it was disapproved. I can think of a pop-up screen to enter reason text and
that text can be passed to the workflow container and eventually send that
info to the WFinitiator. Does anyone have idea how to accomplish this or a
better solution?
 
Thanks.
-Mark.
