Configure a Create subjob activity

  1. Add an activity to the map.

    By default, the Configuration tab is open in the properties panel of the activity.

  2. Change the default Name of the activity to something meaningful.
  3. On the Type list, select Common > Create subjob.
  4. On the Process list, select a process map to use as a subjob.
    Note You cannot select a process that has the Document set or Add document type activity as a subjob.

    A subjob is based on the selected process type:

    • If an ordinary process is selected, ordinary business processes are available for creating a subjob.

    • If a case fragment is selected, case fragments (where the case fragment is associated with the same case as the process into which it is being embedded) are available for creating a subjob.

    • If a case is selected, case fragments (where the case fragment is associated with the same case as the process into which it is being embedded) and case processes are available for creating a subjob.

    A list of initialization parameters for the selected process map appears.

  5. To create a separate subjob for each resource assigned to an activity by applying workflow rules, select Advanced workflow rules. See Create a subjob activity with advanced workflow rules.
  6. Map the Initialization variables from the main process map to the parameters of the subjob by selecting the process or server variable as Value.
    Note The variable types of the process variables must match the variable types of the initialization parameters.
  7. Map the Output variables of the subjob by selecting the process or server variable as Value.
  8. Save the process map.
