When you work with task forms, you can shorten your processes by linking directly to other applications or files. For example, with a workflow for incoming invoices, you can create a link to the booking dialog from your ERP or to a list of cost centers.
Add links to other applications or files to your workflow forms. This is ideal for adding background information to better explain a task. This in turn helps your employees perform these tasks even faster. And forms become more transparent to all parties involved.
How to Add Links and Descriptions
In Workflow Designer, open a form you’d like to enhance - Task > Decisions > Form.

Links and descriptions can be included in task forms starting with DocuWare version 6.11. If you want to link to a booking dialog in your ERP, your ERP must have the option to provide links via URL.
