Linked UIs at a Glance

Start by familiarizing yourself with these concepts.

Why use a linked UI instead of a web form?

In a process application, you can configure human task activities to use an external, linked UI instead of a web form for interacting with end users. The linked UI feature enables you to:

• Design a complex web application that uses features not available in Process Automation forms and integrate it with Process Automation tasks

• Develop web applications using applications such as Oracle Visual Builder and Oracle APEX and integrate them with process applications

Where can I use a linked UI?

You can create and use linked UI connections in dynamic and structured process tasks.

Are there identity domain restrictions with linked UIs?

To associate a linked UI with a process application, the linked application interface must share the same identity domain as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation.

How might I use a linked UI?

Here are some use cases:

• Associate an external web application URL as the form for a task activity in a dynamic or structured process.

• Pass process data into an external web application as a URL parameter.

• Handle business logic on actions such as task approval or saving by configuring two way javascript client side messaging between Workspace and an external application.

What’s the overall process for configuring a linked UI?

1. Define a linked UI connection.

   See Add a Linked UI Connection.

2. Implement the linked UI connection in a human task. You can use them in structured and dynamic processes.

   See Use a Linked UI in a Human Task.

3. Integrate the linked UI with the runtime process task list.

   See Integrate a Linked UI with the Task List.
