Sending Work Item to the Next Activity

Some work items require that you send them to the next activity after performing a task, while others are sent automatically. This depends on the design of the process. You can use the Send or Send To operation to send a work item to the next activity.

If a work item is at an activity form which there is only one path to continue in the process, Oracle BPM will send it automatically to the next activity when you complete the execution of the mandatory tasks of the current activity. But there may be more than one path following the current activity. In this case, the user must specify the next activity or user with Send To (described below). Other work items might give you the option of sending them to the next activity while waiting on another task that cannot yet be performed.

To send a work item to the next activity:

In the Work Items panel, select (checkbox) the work items you want to send. The Operations menu becomes enabled.
From the Operations menu, select Send or, if you need to specify the next activity or participant, select Send To. If you selected Send To, the Send To dialog box will appear. See Sending Work Items to Participants for more information about this option.

The selected work item(s) are sent.
