Decision Activity Property Reference

This reference provides information on how to configure a Decision activity.

Runtime

In the Runtime section, you can configure the following properties for a Decision activity.

Property Description
Suspendable Specifies if you can suspend a process instance sitting in this activity. When you suspend a process instance, the process execution engine ignores its due transitions and the process deadline. When you resume the process instance, the process execution engine recalculates due transitions and process deadlines, adding the time it spent suspended.
User Selects Transition

Specifies if the user can decide which transition to follow. The user can choose from a list of all the transitions that apply to the current process instance.

If you enable this property, the process designer allows you to add multiple unconditional transitions to a Decision activity.

Auto Complete This property is not available for Decision activities.
Abortable Specifies if the user can eliminate instances from the process. When you eliminate a process instance it flows directly to the end of the process.
Assignable Specifies if the user can assign the instance in this activity to another user. According to the permissions and categories granted to the user, the following assignment operations are available:
  • Reassign
  • Peer assign
  • Escalate
  • Delegate
