Start workflow on button click

Looking at starting an ARAS workflow when clicking a button on a form. From what I've found online this doesn't seem as simple as it should be; I have to manually create methods and code to create an instance and fire it up? Seriously?

    Hi bdc604, In Innovator, the default behavior is for an item's workflow to start automatically when that item is saved to the database for the first time. It is possible to manually start a workflow, but that would require some code and customization as you mentioned. If do you need to manually initiate workflows in your Aras environment, you can adapt the labs_WorkflowLaunchExample method from the AutoWorkflowLaunch community project on the Aras Labs GitHub. Eli
