Activity 5: Finishing Touches
The basic Expense Report process is now complete. You can refine it
in several ways so that it is easier to use and maintain. In this activity you
add some improvements that expose you to additional Oracle BPM features.
- Adding a Due Transition
In this task we add the Send Reminder automatic activity, which reminds the employee that a report he has submitted requires editing. Since we want this activity to execute after a given interval of time has elapsed, we connect it with a due transition.
- Implementing the sendReminder Method
You have the Send Reminder activity, but have not yet implemented it. You will set the implementation type of its Main Task as a method. This method sends a reminder e-mail.
- Presetting Default Values
When you design a process, one of your goals should be that no participant should need to enter data that the system can obtain automatically. In this task you will modify the Expense Report process to preset user attributes and provide a reasonable default for the date attribute.
