The mini page is a new way to prompt for information when using a pre-configured page in a process. This is a new feature that was added in Creatio version 8.0.10 and it can be very helpful and be used in many ways. In this article I will be showing an example of one way […]
Typically, when you launch a process from a page in Creatio, you want to refresh the page after the process completes so you see any data that was changed by the process. This has always been done by sending a message from a script task in the process to the UI to tell it to […]
In a previous article I outlined how to start or execute a process from client-side code on a classic Creatio page. This article will show you how to start a process from code on a Freedom UI page. Like most things in a Freedom UI page, we’ll start the process by using the HandlerChainService to […]
For parameters in processes, you can easily set and get values in code ScriptTasks for simple parameter types. However, it might not be as obvious how to work with a collection parameter. For simple parameter types, such as text, you can get and set values using the following: This article will outline how to get […]

When creating a process that needs to start on a specific date or time in Creatio, you’ll use the Timer start element. This timer start includes some predefined start options for starting the process on a specific day, week, month, day of month, day of year, etc. However, what if you need things more specific […]
Awhile ago I made an article on how to loop through a process. The purpose of looping is to do something with multiple records, there is another way of doing that but instead of looping through records you use a collection. The idea is that you can read a collection of records by using a […]
There are user action tasks in processes in Creatio. These user action task are things you want to show to the user for them to take some action on.

Sometimes in a process in Creatio you need two things to happen before you continue with the process. When the order of the things don’t matter as long as they all get done before the process continues. It’s a good case for using a parallel gateway to perform the tasks at the same time. A […]

Creatio does have a lot of options for working with objects/data with an Entity object model, EntitySchemaQuery, Select/Update/Insert objects (I’ll get around to writing articles on these topics as well).

However, there are times that you’ll want to let the front-end javascript know that something happened on the backend, so it can respond as needed, for example to refresh the screen and […]
Lookup columns in bpm’online store an ID value, not the actual text. For example, the City lookup doesn’t store the City name itself, it stores the ID value for the selected City from the City lookup table.
