Buttons that run workflows

In the portal, under Environments, click Development, and there Open. Flow opens in a new tab and you are signed in straight away.

Open the dashboard and click Button in the palette. The tile has room straight away for the progress of the run and the answer under the button; for more, make it wider (Shift + arrows, or drag a corner). If the answer still does not fit, Show larger shows the run in a window. On the right you give the button a text and choose which workflow it starts.

Under Ask first you add with ＋ Question the fields the button asks before the workflow starts. The name is the workflow's input field, the question is what the user reads. When you publish, Flow checks that every name is an input field of the workflow, of the right kind.

This workflow adds an order: it changes data. Buttons like that always ask for confirmation first; write the question. Under Afterwards you choose what the dashboard does when the run is done: refresh the tiles, set filters from the answer, show the result or open a link.

Publish the dashboard: Flow checks the questions against the workflow. Then press the button. It asks for the customer and the amount; Start still asks for confirmation.

Under the button the steps appear while they run, and then the workflow's answer. Then the tiles refresh: there is one more order. With Follow the run you open the run itself, with every step and its data.

Choose the table tile and click ＋ Action per row on the right. Give the action a name and choose the workflow. What goes along is already there: {{row}} is the whole row. The workflow always reads the row again on the server, with the rights of whoever clicks: nobody can change a row they may not see this way. Save.

Every row now has a ⋮. Click it and choose the action: the workflow runs for that one order, and you watch it live in a window.
