What is a Screen?

Understand how to use Screens in ProcessMaker Platform.

Overview

In ProcessMaker Platform, a Screen presents information for a person to interact with or view. An interactive form is an example of a Screen. Any Screen can be re-used in any Process. Many Processes require the same type of information be gathered, such as a person's name, email address, and other business information. In other words, "design once, use anywhere."

Screens also allow people to interact with Request information. Below are a few ways Request participants can interact with Screens:

• Enter information into a Request.

• Review information and then approve or reject a Request.

• Upload or download documents as attachments to a Request.

• Display information from Script output.

• Acquire a digital signature, and then display that digital signature in another Screen.

Designers can design Screens that only display information in useful ways:

• Insert Saved Search charts to display key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor your business goals.

• Insert commonly used information and downloadable files for your employees or a subset of your employees, and then place them into a dashboard for these employees to access. For example, create a dashboard that serves as a portal for all your employees to read special announcements, download the employee handbook, and display relevant Collection record information.

• Preview a file.

There are many ways to design Screens to digitize your business needs across your business solutions in savvy ways to reuse them across multiple Processes.
