I have a workflow that requires some instructions to be shared with the user. I don't want to hassle the user with a pop-up every time they run the workflow but I need the instructions on the screen while it is running. The other problem with the pop-up is once you close it, the information is gone.

 

I tried putting a Display Form in the DataRegion but that causes execution to stop. I tried running the Display Form and the Flow Chart in a parallel activity but that seemed quirky.

 

Is there a way to share info with the user while they are using a workflow? For instance just put markdown text into the DataRegion.

  You could use the Run External Command activity with the Add Status command https://docs.geocortex.com/essentials/gvh/latest/commands-help/#/commands/Map%20Widget/AddStatus and your message as the command parameter, to display messages at the bottom of the map.

   

  You could also use the Home Panel for instructions (if you are not using it in a different way now).

  Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I need to display 2 short paragraphs of information so the status bar doesn't work.

   

  Considered the Home Panel (since technically it does exactly what I need) but we typically use it for some other info.
