The following topics provide general information about Activities and describe how to create and use them.
What Is an Activity?
Activities define a manual or automated task that conforms one step within a process design. Adding a new activity allows you to create a new step and assign it to a role in a process.
Activity Types
The following sections describe the different types of Activities available in Aqua Logic BPM Studio.
Adding an Activity
You add an activity in the process designer. Follow these steps to add any activity except for the three global activities (interactive, automatic, and creation).
Adding a Global Activity
Global activities are not a part of the process flow. They are called global activities because they do not run from within an instance. Rather, they are executed outside of, and independent from, any existing instances.
Editing Activity Properties
Each activity has a number of of properties and settings. You access these through the context menu.
