Adding the Confirm Receipts Activity

In this task you will add the Confirm Receipts activity, an interactive activity which will be used by the Treasurer role.

Since you have not yet created the Treasurer role, you will add it here "on the fly" as you add the Confirm Receipts activity.

  1. Click on the interactive activity icon (Interactive Activity icon 
				) in the editor toolbar, and insert the interactive activity right before the End activity, in the automatic swimlane. You cannot insert an interactive activity in an automatic swimlane, so Studio needs to ask you for a role. Hence, the Role dialog box is displayed.
  2. The Name drop-down list contains Employee and Supervisor, but the Treasurer role does not appear because you have not created it yet. To create the Treasurer role, click New. The Role Properties dialog box appears.
  3. In the Name field, enter Treasurer, and click OK. The Treasurer role is added (but not yet on the diagram) and becomes the selected role in the Role dialog box.
  4. Click OK. The Activity dialog box appears.
  5. Enter Confirm Receipts in the Name field, and click OK. The Treasurer swimlane is added to the process diagram, and the Confirm Receipts interactive activity is inserted into the Treasurer role.

After completing this task, your process design diagram should look like this:
