Task Flow And Switcher Example

The next example show how to switch between two fragments in the same task flow by using the switcher .

Use Case : The user can explore the hierarchy of departments and explore the hierarchy of employees by selecting from the menu in the left corner of the screen 

The hierarchy of departments

The hierarchy of employees

One of the solutions that can be used is the use of dynamic region, but in my case I will use a different technique which consists of a single task flow with 2 fragments and switcher

Implementation steps :

1. create a task flow (fragment)
2. create a switcher and 2 fragments , one for  hierarchy of departments and one for hierarchy of employees
3. define cases for the switcher
4. add the task flow to a consumer page as a region 
5. create menu and add setPropertyListener to menu items
6. add partial trigger to the region 
7. change Refresh' property for the task flow to "if needed"

Create the task flow with 2 page fragments and add the navigation cases 

create the region for the hierarchy of departments 

create the region for the hierarchy of employees 

Define a parameter in  the parameters section 

Define the cases of the switcher  :
if the value of choiceParam == 'dept' then go to hierarchy of departments
if the value of choiceParam == 'emp' then go to hierarchy of employees

Add the task flow as a region to a consumer page
create a menu model
Add partial trigger for the region 

Add SetPropertyListener to menu items

 

In the consumer page :

• go to the page definition
• pass the value of the menu item to the task flow
• change refresh ' property to "ifNeeded"
