Reseting tabs after a workflow start

[adam_bo_]

It is easy to add a workflow tab for folders, but after the workflow start tabs are reseted to default one. It means that it needs to open the workflow tab two times, ie. to start and to add participants. Is there a simple, configuration way to change it ?

Hi,

I assume you are using version 5.8.

There are mainly two ways to start a workflow from the UI:

• Using the "Workflow process" widget, displayed automatically by Nuxeo in the "Summary" tab of documents. If you start a workflow from there then you are right: the "Workflow" tab is not automatically open. But Nuxeo now displays the task below the other information => There is no need to display the tab:

![alt text][1] [1]: /upfiles/startWK-default.jpg

• If you configure your application and add a "User Action" in studio (for example, a Toolbar button), then in the chain bound to this element, you probably call Workfolws > Start Workflow (give the id of the workflow, check the "start" checkbox). In this case, the "Your Tasks" information is not displayed, so you may want to switch to the Workflow tab, which requires two steps, 2 operations to add to the chain: User Interface > Raise Seam Events seamEvents: locationSelectionChanged User Interface > Change Tab tab: TAB_ROUTE_WORKFLOW

Hi Thibaud,

Hi Amad,

[Vladimir_Pasqui]

This tab cache reset has been fixed indeed in https://jira.nuxeo.com/browse/NXP-13244

The cache is reset only when workflows are cancelled or finished.

(Thanks Anahide!)

There is still the problem that after start the new workflow there is reset to the default tab.
