Adding Submit button in detail page and Status column on summary page

Hello Team,

I am trying do the following

Creating a new form where I added a custom button like a Submit button.
Edit the form and Clicks Save and Summary to return to the summary page where I want to add a new column as Status which shows form status as "In Progress"
Re-opens the form created above, clicks Submit and I want view a warning dialog like "Are you sure you want to submit this form?"
Clicks Yes and views the summary page where the Status column for this form should show as "Submitted".

As am relatively new to orbeon. It would be great if you can guide me or provide inputs on how to do this ?/

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

SATISH

Hi Satish,

Your requirement will be handled out of the box once we’ll have implemented
RFE #2256, which we are planning to do next year. Until then, you will need
to do a bit more work than we (and most likely you) would like:

- Add a hidden field in your form to keep track of the status. Mark that
field as showing on the summary page.
- Use the `xf:setvalue` action in your submit process to update the status.
- Make all the fields readonly when the status is “submitted”.

And of course, just le me know if any of those steps aren’t quite clear.

Thank You Alex for your reply.
Could you also please let me know how can I add hidden form field. Because I could not find any property or field and am bit confused.
It would be great if you can provide me some more inputs on this. and also please guide me on xf:setvalue property.

Thanks much for your help

Hi Satish,

By "hidden fields" I meant a field hidden to the user. You can hide a field
from user by going to the Control Settings for the field, and in the
Formulas tab, in Visibility, use the XPath expression `false()`. This allows
you to create a "private" or "hidden" field that your form logic can use,
but that will never be visible to end-users.

You can find more about the `xf:setvalue()` action on the page linked below.
And if you are new to processes you might want to read more about those, by
checking out the pages under "Buttons and processes" linked from the left
sidebar in the documentation.

https://doc.orbeon.com/form-runner/advanced/buttons-and-processes/actions-xforms.html

I hope this helps,

Alex

Excellent Satish, I'm glad using an "hidden field" worked for you, and thanks
for the update.
