You cannot yet input data into the process, but you can now run it to see how the
Expense Report instance flows through the happy path.
To run the ExpenseReport process:
-
Click the Start Engine icon
(
) to start Studio's built-in process execution engine.
The
Start Engine dialog box appears.
-
Verify that both the Delete Process Instances and Delete
Log Files options are selected, and click OK.
-
Once the engine has started, and the Start Engine icon has changed
to a Stop Engine icon, click the Launch
WorkSpace
(
) button.
-
In the WorkSpace login page, log in as Peter Jones.
The WorkSpace main page appears for user Peter Jones.
-
In the WorkSpace Applications panel, click Create Expense
Report.
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.
-
To see the instance you have created, click Show Filters in the
Work Items panel.
The
Filter by pane of the
Work Items panel opens.
-
In the Processes pane, select Expense Report from the
Available Processes list, and click the right arrow
(
)
to move it to the Selected Processes list.
-
Set the Assigned to drop-down list to Anyone, at any Role,
and click Apply Filter.
The
Work Items panel shows 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.
-
Log out of WorkSpace by clicking Logout in the upper right of the
page.
In the next task, you log in again, so do not exit the
browser.
