Workflows

Definition

A Workflow corresponds to a set of configured user tasks, necessary for an operational process.

The Workflow is configured with the BPMN technology: https://www.activiti.org/userguide/.

Ways to trigger a workflow

A workflow can be triggered by:

• a Feature:

  • when creating, updating information on an Object

  • when assigning, updating or revoking a Role Assignment (with manual provisioning or not)

• a Business Policy

Once the workflow is triggered, the user can view Workflow(s) by accessing the Workflow Dashboard.

From Feature

On create, update and bulk Feature

You must configure:

• the id of the Workflow that will be launched (<worklowId>).

• the <PendingOperationBehaviour> on options part.

On create and update Features, it is possible to configure several Workflows per feature.
On bulk Feature, only one Workflow can be configured.

When a Workflow is triggered from a bulk feature, all the selected objects have a dedicated workflow.

On Role Assignment

You must configure:

• a Role Request Policy and choose the Workflow Strategy.

• a Manual Provisioning Policy and choose the Workflow Strategy (if assignment requires manual provisioning).

Configuration

The process and properties to create a workflow will be detailed in the dedicated Workflow page.
