Workflows
Is there any adaption we have to do on workflows enabling them to work in the HTML5 Viewer? I have a few workflows that work in Silverlight but not the HTML5 Viewer.

Cathy,
I'm very interested in this topic as well, having just had an interesting discussion with with Steve Maddison at the ESRI UC, about workflows.
There is a very simplistic example in the FLEX API samples site here - https://resources.geocortex.com/essentials/apis/flex/ .
Unfortunately it only shows a 'hello world' app which does not have to do any communication between servers during the execution of the workflow and it isn't wrapped in the sample flex viewer app.
I would love to see some additional examples of using workflows in FLEX (especially the flex viewer). I doesn't seem to be as easy to incorporate in FLEX as it does in Silverlight.

The Flex API (at the heart of the viewer) does support Workflows. I does not currently support Forms but we are close to releasing it (it's in the QA process right now).
Stay tuned,
Christian.

Hi Peter,
When we release the next viewer, I will try to make sure it includes the same examples as the one in Silverlight (Parcel By ID, etc).

Hi Tom,
Workflows are mostly constituted from Activities. Some of the available activities are not yet implemented in the latest release of HTML5 viewer.
A more complete set of Activity Handlers will be implemented in future releases.
For example you are not able to run Extract workflow with the current release of HTML5 viewer, since some of the activities that are part of that workflow were not implemented at release time.
hope this helps
Dan

Also, the viewer log should contain some useful information about which activity or command is missing or has failed. To view the log, you can press Ctrl + Shift + ~ on desktop or hold a finger down on the toolbar on mobile.
