Login User UI Flow Behavior

Prev Next

Overview 

Similar to how the Login User Flow Behavior allows users to define an event that happens upon user login, the Login User UI Flow Behavior is used to trigger an event at login.

Though both Flow Behaviors handle Login events, the Login User Flow Behavior cannot display Forms upon login; this is a behavior that can only be handled by a Login User UI Flow as it implements the use of an End Form Session step by default.

The following document demonstrates how to create and implement a Login User UI Flow. 


Glossary Entry For Step Used 

Note on Login User UI Flow Behavior and Additional Resources 
The following Flow Behavior utilizes an End Form Session step to perform the desired action upon Login.
For more information on how to utilize and configure End Form Session steps, see Using the End Form Session Step to Navigate.
NameDescriptionLocationInputs/Outputs
End Form SessionActs as an End Form that provides an additional action depending on the selected BEHAVIOR Option. Forms [End]Inputs (for this example):
Folder Id  [String], Page Name [String]

Outputs: None

Use Case: For redirecting to a specified Folder on Login


Example 

To create a Login User UI Flow that navigates to a Folder in the User Portal:

  1. From the Decisions Studio, select CREATE FLOW, then select CREATE. 
  2. From the Create Flow window, navigate to the Flow [Advanced] category; then create a new Login User UI Flow
  3. From the Flow Designer, navigate to Steps > Forms [End], and attach an End Form Session step to the Start and End steps. 
  4. In another window navigate to the desired Folder; right-click the Folder then select Manage > Get Folder ID.  
    Note on Folder ID
    Note that with the Open Portal in new Window option selected, the defined Folder needs to be viewable in the User Portal. For more information on Portal Visibility see User Portal Permissions

  5. From the resulting ID window, click Copy Text. Then click DONE and navigate back to the Flow Designer. 
  6. With Open Portal in new Window selected under Behavior > Options, under Inputs, Constant map the desired Folder Id. Set Page Name to Ignore
  7. Save then Close the Flow.
  8. Back in the Decisions Studio, navigate to System > Settings > Portal Settings.

  9. From the Login category under Login User Flow (Show Before Portal Loads), click Pick, then PICK the recently created Login User UI Flow. Then, SAVE the Portal Settings, and exit. 


  10. Logout of the Studio, then attempt to log back in. 


  11. Verify that a new window opens up and navigates to the designated Folder.
