  • Does Flokzu have a Public API?
    Yes, Flokzu does count with a Public API that you can use either to call it from your systems or within Flokzu itself (from Service Tasks, for example). What can you do with Flokzu's Public API? Our API allows you to do many things, from linking two processes together to entering records into a Flokzu database, getting records from a Flokzu database, copying a field value, etc. The URL to see the API documentation is: https://flokzu.docs.apiary.ioSome readers

Among many other uses. We call ‘Active version’ (or Active process) to the version of the process that is actually running in yoSome readers
  • Print template
    How it works If you don't have a template linked to your process, when you click the printer icon on a process instance, the browser's default print dialog will be shown.

  • Script development in Flokzu
    Introduction In Flokzu we know that sometimes it is necessary to provide the forms with intelligence, not only to make complex calculations, but also to validate things, detect errors, and define conditional logic to hide/show fields, among many other possibilities. Bearing this in mind, we have developed a Script Engine that provides predefined functions at the form level to be able to make all kinds of validations, error detections and algorithms using a widely known language like JavaScPopular
  • Setting up required and visibility of fields by script?
