## To Define Optional Activity Details

1. Select the Details tab of the activity's property page.

2. If you are creating a process activity, you can specify an error process to execute in the event that an error occurs in the current process. Enter the internal name of the item type that owns the error process and then specify the internal name of the error process activity to execute. Note that the error process item type does not need to be open in your current Oracle Workflow Builder session for you to define it here. See: Default Error Process.

3. The effective date tells you when this version of the activity is available for the Workflow Engine to execute. If the Effective Date field is blank, the activity is effective immediately.

You set the effective date when you save your changes using the Save As option in the File menu. All your activity modifications share the same effective date when you save.

4. Select a value for On Revisit to determine how the Workflow Engine handles this activity when it is transitioned to more than once. If this activity is the first activity that is revisited, as in a loop, you should set On Revisit to specify how you want the Workflow Engine to process the loop. The first activity in a loop is also called the pivot activity. For all other activities in a loop, the value of On Revisit is irrelevant.

If On Revisit is set to Ignore, the Workflow Engine executes the activity only once, and ignores the activity for all subsequent revisits.

If On Revisit is set to Reset, the Workflow Engine resets the completed activities in the loop by traversing through the loop in reverse order from the pivot activity, executing each activity in CANCEL mode. You can include special logic in each function's CANCEL mode to undo prior operations. The Workflow Engine then traverses through the loop in forward order, reexecuting each activity, starting with the pivot activity, in RUN mode.

If On Revisit is set to Loop, the Workflow Engine simply reexecutes the pivot activity and all activities that follow in the loop, without resetting, as if they have never been executed before. See: Looping.

5. The version number identifies which revision of the activity you are examining. The engine ensures that it uses the most recent updates to an activity by using the latest effective version number of that activity.

6. Choose Apply to save your changes.
