Running the Process

The Expense Report process is now complete.

To run the ExpenseReport process:

Click the Start Engine icon () to start Studio's built-in process engine. The Start Engine dialog box appears.
Check both the Delete Process Instances and Delete Log Files options, and click OK.
Click the Launch WorkSpace () button.
In the WorkSpace login page, log in as Peter Jones.
Click on Create Expense Report in the WorkSpace Applications panel.
Fill out the form with sample information. In the SubmittedBy field, enter Peter Jones exactly as you entered the login name. Add just one item for $24 or less.
Log out of WorkSpace and log in again as Paul Smith, the participant with the supervisior role. Because you entered an expense report totaling less than $25, the instance should have gone directly to the Confirm Receipts activity. Therefore, if the process is working correctly, Paul's Work List panel should have no instances.
Log out and log in again as Mary White, the treasurer role participant. Mary should have the ExpenseReport process instance in her Inbox view in the WorkList panel. You should see Confirm Receipts, in the Activity column.
Excecute the Confirm Receipts activity by clicking on the Execute icon (). The Check Receipts form opens in the browser. It should show the item you entered previously, while logged in as Peter Jones.
In the item line, check the ReceiptChecked checkbox, and click Submit. The form closes and the instance is removed from Mary White's inbox.

Even though the Expense Report process is fairly simple, several sequences are possible. Here you ran the instance through the "happier" path by submitting an expense report for less than $25. You should try the following scenarios:

Total of more than $2,500 - The instance should go back to the employee role.
Total between $25 and $2,500, approved by supervisior and receipts checked - this is the happy path.
Total between $25 and $2,500, rejected by supervisor. - Goes back to employee, who adds an explanatory comment.
Total between $25 and $2,500, receipt not verified. - Goes back to employee, who removes item.
