In this task you will add an automatic activity that will perform a simple check on
the expense report using a simple rule.
Here, we add the Check Company Policy automatic activity, but we do not implement it yet, because in the happy path we assume that the report complies with company policy. We will add other possible paths later on.
This is an automatic activity, so it can go in any swimlane. We will insert the activity in the employee swimlane for convenience. The Begin activity is now in this swimlane.
To add the Check Company Policy automatic activity:
-
In the editor toolbar, click on the automatic activity icon
(
) and insert the automatic activity a bit to the right of the Begin
activity. Note that as you move the activity around, the transition between the
Begin and End activities is highlighted in purple. Place the activity right on the
transition line while it is highlighted.
The
Activity dialog box appears.
After completing this task, your process design diagram should look like this:
