Workflow

How to Edit Activity and Transition Properties

 

What to do:

In order to work through this example you must have completed the example Add and Connect Components.
Open the Workflow Editor.
Open the process Purchase Requisition.
Double-click the activity Create.
The Activity properties window is opened.
Fill in the following fields:
 
Name of field Description
Name of the Work Item to be completed
Changes the language
The Phase field contains the current activity status and is updated by the system.
Description of the Work Item to be completed
The user that is to be notified when the Work Item becomes overdue. If no user is specified in this field, the process owner is notified instead when the Work Item becomes overdue.
Defines the estimated duration required for the completion of this Work Item.
Defines the deadline of the processing period. Once this deadline is exceeded, the Alert User is notified by e-mail.
Userexit to be executed upon completion of the activity
Userexit that is to be executed as a background batch process upon completion of the activity.

Since the "On Complete" field is used to define a LogiView procedure which shall be called if an activity is completed interactively
by a user, this field is ignored for non-interactive activities. Non-interactive activities are:

Activity Type Resource Type Resource
