I suppose one way to do it would be to create form off by itself that contains one or more entries. Then you'd create a filter related to Form_X, making sure it runs only on Get Entry, and add whatever actions you want. You could also relate the filter to one of your own existing forms, but be sure you understand the ramifications. Now with a simple Set Fields (with query) action, you can effectively call this filter from any other workflow object. For example, in your escalation, you can query Form_X for a dummy value, which will trigger the Get Entry filter. I'm working on a system right now (decidedly NOT of my own design) that appears to be doing the same thing.... However, I suspect the effect may be not be intentional in all cases. It's an interesting trick, but I will warn you -- it's a real pain trying to troubleshoot. I've been looking at combined active link and filter log files where an active link makes an innocent Set Fields query that triggers five pages of Get Entry filters. Yuck.

Hi Curtis, Yes you are correct that we can call filter by doing some modifications by escalation and then initiates the process for filters. But our need is to directly call the filter without starting any modification or submission activity. So Is there any way to call a filter without any update on any form ??? That is why I am asking any Run Process action or any other workaround for this.

Why not just create a hidden field on the form the escalation is running against. Say Z_DO_ESCALATION. Then have the escalation modify this field and add modification of this field to the qualifier of the filters you wish to fire? Think of it as an execution flag for the filter that gets set by the escalation.

Hello, Can we directly call a filter to execute, inside any action (may be in Run Process) of an Escalation ? We are using ARS 6.3 & HD6.0.
