emandra_kf Hide/Remove the Previous button from last screen
In the last screen of my flow, I display the various input fields submitted by the user as a confirmation of what s/he enterred. This screen is preceeded by a Record Create task which posted the data to my custom object. All is well except for the fact that my last screen displays the default buttons of "Previous" and "Finish". How do I remove or hide the Previous button so a user does not make an inadvertent double entry by clicking the Previous button and invoking the Record Create a second time?
If you're using the Desktop Flow Designer, you can go to the Settings tab on any Statement, Question, or Form and change Element Finish Type to "Do not allow the user to go back". This won't remove the "Previous" button, but it will make it unclickable.

If you're using the Desktop Flow Designer, you can go to the Settings tab on any Statement, Question, or Form and change Element Finish Type to "Do not allow the user to go back". This won't remove the "Previous" button, but it will make it unclickable.
That sounds like it will work. Is there a way to import a Cloud-based Flow into the Desktop version?
No, they are two totally different formats.
Additionally, in the cloud designer you have to remove the previous button via css/styling on the page that you nest the visual workflow in. I have not seen a built-in way to hide the previous button there, so this workaround would be your only approach, and it will only remove the previous button permanently--I haven't found a way to hide/show it conditionally for specific steps.
We will be supporting this feature in the cloud designer soon (next release, safe harbor applied !)
This is an old review,
But still no support for the feature in the cloud?
Actually, yes, this is in the Cloud Designer now! In the Screen block in question, just set the Navigation Options to "Don't show Previous button".
But that will still show the finish button,
And the finish button will take you back to the beginning,
And in some flows we don't want that,
To solve this, you'll want to add a retURL argument to your button or link that kicks off the Flow.
For example, let's say this is fired off of a button on an Account. If you wanted it to go back to the Account record you came from, you'd add this to the end of your button URL:
&retURL=/{!Account.Id}
The retURL tells it that this is the URL you'll want to return to after the flow is completed. The / we are using because it's the start of a relative URL; you won't want to put "http://na5.salesforce.com/blahblah" because your server may change one day. You can just start your URL with / and that tells it to use the same domain name you're currently on. Then, by putting the source record's ID after the slash, you are telling it that it is your destination.
Well actually I have a public website that created using Flows,
So the URL:&retURL can't call an external website,
And I'm not sure where to redirect the user,
Any thoughts?
Oh, retURL can call an external website, that's no problem. I only suggested using the / because Flows are more commonly used only internally. You may have to put it in quotes but I don't think it's necessary.
If you can set it up, I would suggest your best practice would be to set up another Site that doesn't do anything other than tell the user that they have succesfully completed it. That way, the user knows that it got submitted and they don't have to worry about whether or not it did what it's supposed to do.
So I used another pubic website we have,
But when I click finish on the live Flow,
It tells me authentication required, please login!
Do you know why?
Did it not do that before? That strikes me as odd.
I assume you're presenting this in some kind of Sites with Visualforce. I unfortunately don't know a whole lot about Sites or Visualforce, but I do know that there has to be a profile for the Site to use, and it has to have permissions that allow it to create or edit the record in question. That's the only thing I can think of as a possibility, though...
Ok, I will submit this as a question to the community,
But you have been a great help thanks
No problem! If you have any other questions about Workflow, I'll be co-leading the session "Optimize Business Processes with Visual Workflow" at Dreamforce.
Great, thank you
when i run the page within Salesforce, i get the following error:
Invalid Page Redirection: The page you attempted to access has been blocked due to a redirection to an outside website or an improperly coded link or button. Please contact your salesforce.com Administrator for assistance.
Any ideas?

I'm confused... I'm working in the flow designer and There are no options anywhere that I can find to set the don't show previous button.
You mention "Cloud Designer" is that different from "Flow Designer". I've looked in the tools, I see no options for anything called "Cloud Designer"
How can I get the Cloud Designer. Will I be able to import/migrate my existing flows (ton of work there) into the "Cloud Designer"

I"m using the designer directly in salesforce
There was no migration from legacy flows to the new designer, unless I'm missing something.

Ummm... Yes! I'm using the flow designer in salesforce...
I found it on the "General Info" Tab from a Screen Element, under the label "Navigation Options"
Three Choices are: No Restrictioins, Don't Show Previous Button, & Don't Show Finish Button
Earlier (4/25/12) in the thread GetForcedQ stated that these options where under a Settings Tab, and that's where I got lost...
