The Workflow Designer (Advanced) application provides a number of new features in addition to what is available in the Workflow Designer application to help you create, view, modify, and delete Workflow process records that reflect your business process.
Using the Workflow Designer (Advanced) application you can:
- Add Attachments to workflow definitions to document a workflow.
- Set the Launch On Demand flag to indicate that a workflow can be launched on demand from the Workflow Launcher application.
- Set the Go To Instance flag, to indicate that launching the workflow from the Workflow Launcher application changes the application to the application specified in the Go To Instance Application attribute.
- Classify a workflow using specification parameters. This is useful when using the explorer view to access a workflow from the Workflow Designer (Advanced), Workflow Administration (Advanced), and Workflow Launcher applications.
- Define specification parameters, based on the classification for a workflow, which serve as variables for custom actions in the workflow.
- Use the Workflow Instances tab to provide access to workflow instances created from the workflow definition.
- Set the Go To Instance Application attribute to specify the application to switch to during Launch On Demand when Go To Instance is enabled.
- Search for processes and view processes list. Place the cursor in the Process field and press 'Enter' to see the full list of records, or click All Records from within a record.
- View classifications that can be used with workflow instances. When you click on a classification, the right tree shows all the Workflow instances for that classification and also for all the child classifications below. Legacy workflows and any unclassified workflows will appear under the unclassified node. If you want to see all the workflows for all the classifications, click the All Records option in the left pane.
Workflow Designer (Advanced) tabs
The Workflow Designer (Advanced) application contains the following
tabs, which are available when you click on a record:
- The Canvas tab is used to design and modify processes in a graphical format.
