Launch step - general properties
The Launch step is the first step in the workflow. The user who launches
the workflow completes any tasks specified in this step as part of starting
the workflow.
In the properties of the Launch step, specify instructions for the launch
user, and any attachments, fields, responses, and routing conditions to
start the workflow. In addition, you can assign field values and milestones.
You can rename the Launch step but you cannot change its type, copy it,
or delete it.
To specify Launch step properties
- On the workflow map, click on the Launch step to select it.
- On the General tab (Properties pane)
- Enter instructions for the user who will launch the workflow.
- Select the launch processor.
The IBM FileNet-provided step processors are designated in the
list with (FileNet). The list of available launch processors might include custom processors if an application
developer has created any. If necessary, work with your application developer to determine
the appropriate selection. See About step processors
for additional information.
TIP The default launch processor, Approval Launch HTML (FileNet), displays any parameters (data fields, attachments, and so on) on the initial page; the other FileNet-provided launch processor, Launch HTML (FileNet), displays parameters on separate pages.
