In this task you will add the Confirm Receipts activity, an interactive activity that
will be performed 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.
-
Click the interactive activity icon
(
) in the editor toolbar, and insert the interactive activity below
the Supervisor swimlane, right before the End activity
The
Role Properties dialog appears.
Because you cannot insert an interactive activity outside a named
swimlane, Studio needs to ask you for a role.
-
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.
A second
Role Properties dialog appears.
-
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.
-
In the Role Properties dialog, click OK.
The
Activity dialog appears.
-
In the Name field, enter Confirm Receipts and
click OK.
The Treasurer swimlane is added to the process diagram, and
the Confirm Receipts interactive activity is added into it.
-
The Confirm Receipts activity is disconnected from the process, so you must connect it.
Move the right (arrowhead) end of the last transition from the End to the Confirm
Receipts activity, and add a new transition between the Confirm Receipts and the
End activities, as you did in step five of the previous task.
-
Move the End activity to the Treasurer swimlane, keeping it to the right of the Confirm
Receipts activity (see the diagram below).
After completing this task, your process design diagram should look like this:
Figure 1. Expense Report process with Confirm Receipts Activity.
