Display a message while workflow is running

I have a workflow which generates a report, and sometimes it takes more than a few seconds. How would I display a message to the user that the report is being created during that wait?

Thanks,

 

Heather

  Use a Configure Workflow Container Activity.

  Set the workflowcontainername to "Default", the Is Busy to True (this displays a progress indicator), the message to "Creating report..." (or something else) and the visible property to true.

  Thank you, Nico! I've been using samples and I don't always understand what all the activities do. The Configure Workflow Container activity was in the wrong place in the sequence.

  Cheers,

  Hi Heather

  if you open the Workflow Designer the various Activities will be listed in the lefthand panel.

  Right click on the Activity in that panel and Click on 'Help for Activity Name'.

  The help is not always in (very) plain English but it is always worth having a read of.

  Thanks

  Thanks Ralph. Even with the help, I still don't always "get it"!
