|
|
|
|
The SpiffArena platform offers powerful features for displaying
|
|
content within your BPMN processes.
|
|
Follow the steps below to effectively display content in your
|
|
processes:
|
|
|
|
In this guide, we'll explore how to effectively display content in
|
|
SpiffArena, providing a seamless user experience and engaging
|
|
presentation of information.
|
|
|
|
Let's dive in and learn the key aspects of displaying content within
|
|
your workflows.
|
|
|
|
## Markdown: Formatting Content
|
|
|
|
Markdown is a powerful tool for formatting and styling your content in
|
|
SpiffArena. With Markdown, you can easily add headings, lists, tables,
|
|
hyperlinks, and more to enhance the readability and visual appeal of
|
|
your displayed content.
|
|
|
|
## Jinja Templating: Dynamic Content Generation
|
|
|
|
Jinja Templating in SpiffArena empowers you to generate dynamic
|
|
content based on variables, conditions, and logic. By leveraging
|
|
Jinja's syntax and functionality, you can customize your content to
|
|
adapt to specific scenarios, display personalized information, or
|
|
perform calculations based on collected data.
|
|
|
|
## Combining Markdown and Jinja: Unleashing the Power
|
|
|
|
By utilizing the strengths of Markdown and Jinja, you can create rich,
|
|
interactive, and data-driven content that goes beyond static text.
|
|
We'll demonstrate using an example on how to leverage Markdown and
|
|
Jinja together to create captivating content that responds to user
|
|
input and presents dynamic information.
|
|
|
|
## Basic Example for displaying content
|
|
|
|
In our SpiffArena dashboard, we have a simple example of how to
|
|
display content in the basics section. Now, let's explore the process
|
|
workflow of the content display process model and discover various
|
|
ways to present content in different scenarios.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Display Content Process Overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is a summary of the process:
|
|
|
|
1. **Start Event and Introduction Manual Task**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The process begins with a Start Event, signaling the start of the
|
|
workflow.
|
|
|
|
It is followed by a Manual Task called "Introduction" that displays a
|
|
welcome message or instructions for the users. The content to be
|
|
displayed is specified in the task's properties panel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. **User Task with Form**
|
|
|
|
A User Task named "simple form" is included, allowing users to
|
|
complete a form.
|
|
The properties panel of the User Task contains a JSON form schema,
|
|
defining the structure of the form.
|
|
The instructions panel of the User Task guides users to fill out the
|
|
form, indicating that the entered values will be shown in the
|
|
subsequent Manual Task.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. **Script Tasks**
|
|
|
|
Three Script Tasks are incorporated into the process, each serving a
|
|
specific purpose.
|
|
Script Task 1 introduces a delay using the code "time.sleep(3)" and
|
|
generates a dictionary of colors.
|
|
Script Task 2 includes a delay with the code "time.sleep(1)" and
|
|
focuses on making the colors more playful.
|
|
Script Task 3 includes a delay with the code "time.sleep(2)" and aims
|
|
to increase the silliness level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. **Manual Task to Display Content**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A Manual Task will display content based on the collected data
|
|
and script-generated information. The instructions panel of the Manual
|
|
Task provides the content to be displayed, which includes the form
|
|
data entered by the user.
|
|
It also offers an optional Chuck Norris joke based on user preference
|
|
and a table of silly color names generated using Jinja templating.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. **End Event**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The process concludes with an End Event, indicating the end of the
|
|
workflow.
|
|
The instructions panel of the End Event suggests next steps, such as
|
|
exploring the diagram in edit mode and completing the "Request a
|
|
Playground" task.
