Back Forward breadcrumbs control

VerticalApplication users can click a rectangle in the optional breadcrumbs control on a work object form to return processing to a completed earlier task in the current flow execution that is designated an entry point.

The control is defined by a section rule. It can appear as either a vertical stack of rectangles containing the task name, or a horizontal display.

As in these two examples, tasks marked as entry points appear with a blue background and the current task appears with a pink background.

A user can restart flow execution at an earlier entry point by clicking any blue rectangle. (When a user returns to an earlier entry point, the display is updated to show only that point and earlier steps.)

To work with an example of a screen flow that uses breadcrumbs, select Application > Import > Rule from File. The standard flow rule PegaAccel-Task-Harvest.GatherRuleInfo, a screen flow, produces this user experience.

Tabbed screen flow

For a flow rule that is a screen flow, the tabbed presentation provides an alternative to breadcrumbs as a runtime control for navigation back to completed tasks. Both the tabbed screen flow presentation and the breadcrumbs control depend on tasks marked as entry points.
