Modify HTML viewer home panel content with workflow

Hello,

I am wondering if we can modify portions of the HTML5 viewer dynamically using Workflow with content as users click on buttons?

We created a series of buttons that perform definition queries on layers and the functionality users would like to see is some sort of informational window or panel that displays what they are viewing? I was hoping to modify the home panel or create a new panel with an updated description about the contents they are seeing on the map but could not find a way to do this. 

Any ideas out there and are we approaching this the right way?

Thanks for any help!

  Use a display form (or forms) in a workflow. 

  There is a runtime modifications option for options so you can dynamically define the contents of your form(s).

  I used this in a filter workflow, together with setting the layer definition I show a form with het used criteria.

  Thanks Nico. This is a good suggestion but I have a series of workflows that kickoff with just buttons (no forms) and it would be nice to present and remind the user which button they clicked. Is there any other region in the HTML5 viewer that can be updated with custom content once a workflow is fired off? I'd simply like to indicate to the user they chose the 1 Day, 7 Day or 30 Day filters because these are buttons they are launching a workflow with DefQueries and we need a way to inform the user what they are currently viewing.

  Use in your workflow the run external command activity with the AddStatus command. Parameter is the text to display. The message is displayed at the bottom of the map (StatusIndicatorMessageRegion).

  Nico,

  Thank you for the information. What you provided was very helpful as we were unable to find any documentation for this and the workflow tool does not show AddStatus as a choice. We really appreciate your assistance and quick feedback with this simple feature.
