General
Configure the general properties of a process.
- Name
-
A name for the new process, such as Loan Request.
- Description
-
A description for the new process, such as “Process of requesting a loan from the bank.”
- Type
-
You can change an existing business process to a case or case fragment, but not vice versa.
- To change the business process to a case, select Case definition. On changing a business process to a case, all the associated process variables are converted to case variables.
- To change the business process to a case fragment, select Case fragment and under Associated Case, on the Case definition list, select a case map.
All the settings configured on the current map are automatically applied to the new map. - Category
-
A category to store the process map. By default, the process is stored in the working category of the resource.
Exporting a process map also exports the map category.
- Support variants
-
If selected, allows to create different views of the process, typically for different products and customers.
- Priority
-
The level of importance for the process. A job with priority level 1 indicates that the job is of the highest priority and level 100 indicates the lowest priority.
- Work type
-
A custom task list used as the primary method of managing workflow in a business process. It is typically used by operational staff to display, manage, and execute their work tasks. See Work types.
To assign a work type to a process, you must have read access to work type and access to the category of the work type. - Synchronous
-
If selected, allows the process to be synchronous so that all nodes execute on one thread of execution. A synchronous map only has automatic activities, and does not have any manual activities. (Default: Clear)
This property is not available for case and case fragment maps. - Case completion
-
This property only applies to a case map.
See Case completion.
- Associated case
-
This property only applies to a case fragment map.
-
Case definition: A case process to associate with the case fragment.
You can associate several business processes with the same case, provided you first change a business process to a case fragment.When a business process is associated with a case, the case milestones, case variables, and case roles become available to all associated processes.
-
Compatible all versions: If selected, makes a case fragment map compatible with all case versions.
