camunda BPM: Power to Embedded Taskforms

For everyone out there using embedded task forms in the camunda Tasklist there is great news: The forms are getting way more powerful. The upcoming alpha of camunda 7.1 introduces two extensions for embedded task forms: Client side form validation and form extensions via JavaScript. Form Validation Validation directives provided by AngularJS may now be attached to form fields to activate simple client-side validation constraints for them. The following form field will only accept one of the strings demo, john, mary or peter due to the defined pattern: <input form-field type="string" name="assignee" ng-pattern="/^(demo|john|mary|peter)$<span id="goog_340102718"><span id="goog_340102719">/"</span></span> /> If a user enters an invalid value in a form field the field will be marked as invalid.

Extending Camunda Cockpit through Plugins

As we have seen in the past, it is impossible for Camunda Cockpit —our process monitoring tool— to satisfy all needs, out of the box. That is why we have long thought about providing it with an appropriate extension mechanism that empowers users to fit the tool to their very own monitoring needs. With the latest release of Camunda BPM a first version of a plugin system for Camunda Cockpit is finally here. So what is it about? Simply spoken it is about extending the cockpit GUI with custom views on everything that runs with Camunda BPM. Processes, process instances, deployments, tasks… you name it. That may be accomplished by providing backend services that execute custom queries against an engine…
