Hello thogeter,

i want create a business process to change the tab in a model driven app.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to adjust this.

Thanks, RG Peter

Is the requirement to automatically change the tab when the BPF proceeds to the next stage?

In that case, you can achieve it with JavaScript.

Add the addOnStageChange event to check the getActiveStage and if it matches to the expected one, setFocus for the tab to change the tab formContext.ui.tabs.get("tabName").

@PeterParcker to elaborate further on @LinnZawWin suggestion.

To automatically select a tab based on the selected stage, you can use the sample js script below and load it into your app as a web resource.

function onLoad(executionContext) {
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    formContext.data.process.addOnStageChange(onStageChange)
}

function onStageChange(executionContext) {
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var stage = formContext.data.process.getSelectedStage();
    var stageName = stage.getName();

    if (stageName == "Stage Name One") {
        formContext.ui.tabs.get("tab_one").setFocus();
    } else if (stageName == "Stage Name Two") {
        formContext.ui.tabs.get("tab_two").setFocus();
    } else if (stageName == "Approved") {
        formContext.ui.tabs.get("Stage Name Three").setFocus();
    }
}

Modify the above to suit your needs.  For example, you will need to ensure you reference the logical names of your tabs. In the sample above, "tab_one",  "tab_two" and "tab_three" are the logical names of the tabs in the Model Driven App, and "Stage Name One," "Stage Name Two" and so on are the Display Names of the BPF Stages.

Next, you will need to navigate to your Form, and add this into your app as a web resource, and then add both functions into the OnLoad area of the Events property. 

You will also need to ensure that the "Pass execution context as first parameter" is checked for both functions.

Finally, ensure you Publish all customizations in your Solution and then play the app.
