List Activities and Split/Join Types

Each step in a business process that is implemented in the workflow must be related to an activity. There may be additional activities required to validate the workflow. For example, route activities may be used to ensure a workflow is well-formed.

All activities in the workflow must have an activity type, as well as a split and join type. Activities which include notifications and manual activities must have at least one participant that is the target of the notification or manual activity task. It may also be helpful to identify any other participants who play a role in an activity.

The following are the activities required for the Close Case workflow:
