Starting Workflow for Forms Based Application When a Checkbox is Set

Hello, I have a forms-based application that allows the users to add a row of data using a form, and then go back and edit that form as required. This is working brilliantly.

A new requirement has come up where the users want to send one of these forms (a row of data) to an approver, but only if they set a checkbox titled "Send this form to approver".

Has anyone figured out a way to do this? I don't want to use a process-based application, because not all of them will go for approval right away.

Any ideas of a workaround?

 

Thanks Victor

  Just to be clear, my current thinking is that the checkbox would set a field in the database (say SEND_FOR_APPROVAL - a BIT field), and then I would use an Event Service to run a workflow that ran every 1/2 hour to check where that has been set, and for each row where it is set, it would launch a sub-process that includes the approval process.

  This seems a bit "tricky" to me to configure, so I'm just wondering if there is another way. Thanks

  Victor,

   

  You are trying to achieve a Process Based Application design approach by using a Form Based Application. Is there any reason for not considering the Process based itself?
