Working with Process Definitions

A Process Definition defines a series of Activities that assignees execute in a specific order to bring a Process to completion. You create Process Definitions in Microsoft Visio using Visio Workflow Designer, or in code using the Core Service.

Creating a Process Definition involves defining the following:

  • the Publications in which the Process Definition can be used
  • the Activity Definitions (Manual, Manual Decision, Automatic or Automatic Decision)
  • the relationships between Activity Definitions (as each Activity is completed, the next Activity is assigned to the next assignee until the Process is complete).
