Running the Process as an Employee

You cannot yet input data into the process, but you can now run the process and see how the Expense Report instance flows through the happy path.

To run the ExpenseReport process:

  1. Click the Start Engine icon (Run icon 
				) to start Studio's built-in process execution engine. The Start Engine dialog box appears.
  2. Check both the Delete Process Instances and Delete Log Files options, and click OK.
  3. Click the Launch WorkSpace (Launch WorkSpace icon 
				) button.
  4. In the WorkSpace login page, log in as Peter Jones. The WorkSpace main page will appear for user Peter Jones.
  5. Click on Create Expense Report in the WorkSpace Applications panel. An ExpenseReport instance is created. The instance will go to the Check Company Policy automatic activity, and then on to the Review Report interactive activity, where it will wait for the supervisor to perform the activity.
  6. To see the instance you have created, click the Open Search button (Open Search icon 
				) in the WorkList panel. The Search pane of the WorkList panel opens.
  7. Expand the Show Instances section by clicking on the Show icon (Show icon 
				). The Show Instances section expands.
  8. Set the assigned to drop-down list to All, and click Search. The WorkList panel will show the instance you created in step 6. Note that it shows the Activity as Review Report, while the Status is blank. In other words, the Expense Report instance is now waiting for the Supervisor to perform the Review Report activity.
  9. Log out of WorkSpace by clicking Logout in the upper right of the page. In the next task you will log in again, so do not exit the browser.
