First, you will model the process that we'll later automate. In this section, you will also learn how to add a role - and therefore a user - to the workflow. This user will be the person who gets the assigned tasks later in the workflow.
Select the PROCESS designer and create a new model by clicking New Model in the top ribbon menu Main. A new model is created.
In the left notation element repository, collapse the section Advanced, expand the sections Miscellaneous and WebService and drag & drop these elements on the canvas in the following order:
- Start
- Assign value (Miscellaneous)
- BING distance (WebService)
- Task
- Condition
- Assign value (left path of condition) (Miscellaneous)
- Assign value (right path of condition) (Miscellaneous)
- Assign value (Miscellaneous)
- End
Open Actions and click Connect all from the top ribbon menu Main or click the Connect all button above the notation element repository.
All proposed lines become solid. Lines between conditions and succeeding elements have to be drawn manually.
Click and hold a condition exit tie point (orange/true and white with flash/false) and drag a line to the corresponding entry tie point (green) on the succeeding elements.
Here, both paths have been connected to the succeeding elements.
Now double-click each element and name them accordingly:
Workflow variables are used to store calculation results or decisions temporarily.
Click Edit Workflow Variables in the top ribbon menu Main.
Add three fields by clicking the Add field button.
Field name – Field type
- Distance – Text
- Time – Text
- Decision – Boolean
Name them and change the type of the field Decision from text to Boolean.
Click OK to close.
In the top ribbon menu Main, click Save.
Select a scope from the navigation, give the process model a name and click Save.
