Kuika's PA Interaction Buttons element enables the bulk management of user tasks within Process Automation (PA) processes. It is used to manage the approval and rejection processes for multiple tasks belonging to the same process at once.

The PA Interaction Buttons element can be used to speed up user interaction and reduce workload in processes with heavy task flows.

The PA Interaction Buttons element is currently only supported in web projects.

Add the PA Interaction Buttons Element

1. Log in to the Kuika platform.
2. Select the project you want to work on from the Apps screen.
3. Enter the UI Design module.

4. In the Elements panel on the left side, find the PA Interaction Buttons element under the Process Automation category.
5. Drag and drop the element onto your screen.

This element only works on screens linked to a process that contains User Interaction. If no interaction is defined in the relevant task, the buttons will not be displayed automatically.

How Do PA Interaction Buttons Work?

The PA Interaction Buttons element works based on the value passed to it via the SetValueOf action as rows are selected in a tasks (User Tasks) table.

The element has no additional features visible within itself; it behaves entirely based on the value given to it.

This value is the list of selected tasks in the table. The element identifies the interactions shared by these selected tasks and creates a button only for these shared interactions.

When the user clicks one of these buttons, the element attempts to execute the relevant interaction on all selected tasks. The result of the operation, whether success or failure, is communicated to the user via a notification for each task.

Buttons are not created in the following cases:

• If the relevant interaction is not defined in any of the selected tasks,
• Even if the interaction is defined, if there are BO parameters in the outputMapping and no default mail values are defined for these parameters.

Batch Task Operations (Claim, Release, Assign, Approve, etc.)

• When multiple User Tasks belonging to the same process are selected, only the common interactions of these tasks appear on the PA Interaction Buttons.
• The user can use these buttons to perform the same action (e.g., Claim, Release, Assign, Approve) in bulk on all selected tasks.
• If tasks belonging to different processes are selected and they have no common interactions, the element does not render any buttons.
• Upon completion of the operation, the system automatically updates the status of each task and notifies the user of the results.

Behavior and Restrictions

• If no interaction is defined for the relevant task, the buttons are invisible.
• Interaction buttons are listed for tasks belonging to the same process.
• If there is no common interaction between tasks in different processes, the buttons are not displayed.
