workflow - keep-alive
Can a workflow (widget) be left to not 'unload' itself when closing. I would like it to maintain the selection that the user picked for the next time they open it.
Essentially I have created a pick-list of Imagery for the user to turn on / off. (not exactly like a layer list because I group certain layers based on their selection). I would like them to be able to close the widget (to get it out of the way) and open it again as they desire but still have the previous imagery selected.

Unfortunately, there's no way to avoid exiting a workflow when the panel containing it closes. Some possible work arounds:
1. If you are working in VertiGIS Studio Web, remove the close button from the panel. This will make it impossible to close the panel other than when the Workflow exits (via a user action). The user could then minimize the panel when not using the Workflow.
2. Set the state of the Workflow in an application scope variable prior to loading each form. If the user closes the Workflow and then relaunches it, check for the app scope variable at startup and populate your forms with it rather than through user input.
Hope this helps.
