Hi Everyone,1. Can anyone explain me why we use process. What is its actual need to use? I read the documentations and also watch the training videos but can not clarify why process is necessary what its need.
2. As we all know that we can see the cycle of process in service center. I have the knowledge about it, but I want to ask you that is any way to show the process cycle in UI (In Browser).
Thanks,
Rakhi
Hi Rakhi,
There's no need to use processes. They're a tool you can use, but you don't have to use them. BPT is an advanced topic, that's typically best left to senior developers. If you are just starting, it's good to be aware it exists, but don't yet try to use it.
Typical uses for BPT are implementing business processes with users that need to address certain things and other users having to wait for that (e.g. an approval process when creating a contract), but also for asynchronously starting automated tasks.
As for your second question, there is none that I'm aware of. There isn't a "cycle" per se, you'd just show your entire process definition (which can be quite complex).
Ih!
1. Processes are used when you have a workflow in , for example , an approval :
some one fill up and submits a form
, another person have to approve or not , and who approves is a different person according to the one that submited the form,
then if approved another person has to add more info
if not approved the first one has to some thing and submit the form again
and so on and so on
2. Have you looked at the forge component BAM Reports
