The requirement on my side need to support something like approval submit history. I try a free trial on webapp-EE edition, but this feature seems only available to cockpit.

The reason for there being no place to view processes started by a user is just because It’s not something we’ve been asked to build.

The API’s are there to make this happen and so i suggest that if you’d like, you could utilize the REST API to build either a plugin that does what you want or you could build your own custom view.

Thanks, I will try the plugin route.

Feel free to take a look at this video tutorial to give you an idea of how you might get started building a plugin

Hi Niall, I have write some code on this plugin:

const host = "http://localhost:8080"

export default {
    id: 'tasklist.myprocess',
    pluginPoint: 'tasklist.list',
    priority: 9001,
    render: (node, {api}) => {

        const data = { startedBy: 'demo'}

        console.log("api", api);
        fetch(api.engineApi + "/history/process-instance", {
            method: 'post',
            body: JSON.stringify(data),
            headers: {
                "Accept": "application/json",
                "Content-Type": "application/json",
                "X-XSRF-TOKEN": api.CSRFToken,
            }
        })
            .then(async  (response) => await response.json())
            .then(async (data) => {
                const myProcessContainer = document.createElement("div");
                const banner = document.createElement("h5");
                banner.innerText = "Process created by me";
                myProcessContainer.append(banner);

                //console.log("Success:", data)
                for(let i = 0; i < data.length; i++){
                    const obj = data[i];
                    console.log(obj);
                    let process_item_div = document.createElement("div");
                    let process_item_a = document.createElement("a");

                    process_item_a.setAttribute('id', obj['id']);
                    process_item_a.innerText = obj['processDefinitionKey'] + " " + obj['startTime'];
                    process_item_a.href = host + "/camunda/app/cockpit/default/#/history/process-instance/" + obj['id']

                    process_item_div.append(process_item_a)

                    myProcessContainer.append(process_item_div);
                }
                node.innerHTML = myProcessContainer.innerHTML;
            })
            .catch((error) => {
                console.error('Error', error);
            });

    },
    properties: {
        label: 'My process instance'
    }
}

what I am trying to do ls list all process started by current user( demo in my example) then give a link to the cockpit to jump to.
However, I don’t know how to get the current userId. can you help? @Niall
