Module 5

An Altinn App has a process flow that describes the different steps in the flow. The standard flow for a newly created application consists of one task; the fill out step.

Your task is to expand the standard process flow with a confirmation step as illustrated below. The confirmation page is added automatically when the step is added to the BPMN file.

Requirements from the municipality

At this point in the workflow, the user should be able to:

1. View an overview of the data entered
2. Exit the workflow without submitting the form
3. Exit the workflow and submit the form

Useful documentation

• Available process steps in an Altinn app
• How to change the process flow of an application
• Online BPMN editor
• BPMN standard

Knowledge check

• Which Altinn-specific traits are on every process task?
• Which limitations would an external BPMN editor have when editing the process description of an Altinn app?
• Is it possible for the process flow to go both ways? From filling in to confirmation and from confirmation to filling in?

Your application’s policy file is adapted to a standard process flow. Update the policy file so that the authorization rules cover the new process step.

Requirements from the municipality

• The same role requirements should apply to both fill out and confirm an instance.

Useful documentation

• Rule library
• All roles in Altinn

Knowledge check

• What will happen when the process flow proceeds to the confirmation step without the authorization rules being updated?
• What happens if you don’t specify which roles are allowed to perform an action in an authorization rule?

Requirements from the municipality

• It should only be possible for the user who owns the instance to submit the form, even if others may hold the necessary roles.

Useful documentation

• Custom validation

Knowledge check

• Which change could be made to meet this requirement without adding custom validation at this step?

Requirements from the municipality

The user should be presented with the following text before submitting the form.
