## Summary of the Survey - Master/Detail Process

To view the properties of Survey - Master/Detail Process, select the process in the navigator tree, then choose Properties from the Edit menu. The Survey - Master/Detail Process is runnable, indicating that you can initiate it as a top level process to run.

The Details property page of the process activity indicates that Survey - Master/Detail Process has an associated error item type and error process called WFERROR and DEFAULT_ERROR, respectively. The DEFAULT_ERROR process of item type WFERROR is initiated automatically when an error is encountered in Survey - Master/Detail Process. Currently the DEFAULT_ERROR process notifies the administrator of the error and provides options to retry, abort, or continue the process in error.

When you display the Process window for Survey - Master/Detail Process, you see that the process consists of five unique activities. To examine the activities of the process in more detail, we have numbered each node for easy referencing below. The numbers themselves are not part of the process diagram.

The Survey - Master/Detail Process workflow begins when you submit a survey using the Product Survey web page accessible from the Workflow Demonstrations home page. You must provide a survey requestor role, survey participant role, survey name, a timeout value in minutes, and check "Use a master process to loop through all role participants creating a detail work item for each participant. Each detail work item sends a survey to one participant."

> Note: If you choose to initiate the survey process from the Launch Processes web page, you should select "Survey - Master/Detail Process" as the process name.

The workflow begins at node 1 with the Start activity.

At node 2, the process determines the individual users that are members of the survey participants role and starts a detail work item to send a survey to each user.

At node 3, the process waits for all of the detail work items to complete before continuing.

When all detail work items are complete the process transitions to node 4 where the process sends a notification with the results of the survey to the participant role. The process ends at this point.
