Activity page
Use this page to work with a work item and to display more information
about its corresponding activity or its business process.
This page is displayed if you click a work item in the My To Dos page or
the Process Instance page.
The Activity page has the following sections:
- Available Actions
- Actions that you can perform on the work item. An action is available
only if you have the authority to act on the work item in its current state.
If you are not authorized to act on the work item in its current state, this
section is empty. For example:
- Claim
- Displayed if the work item is in a Ready state and you are a potential
owner of the work item. If you click Claim, you become
the work item owner (its state is changed to Claimed) and are responsible
for its completion.
- Complete
- Displayed if the work item is in a Claimed state and you are the owner
of the work item. If you specified the required input, you can click Complete to
complete the work item.
- Save Changes
- Displayed if the work item is in a Claimed state and you are the owner
or the editor of the work item. If you change the output message
properties, you can click Save Changes, to save the
changes without completing the work item. For example, you might save changes
to a work item if your work is interrupted or if you need more information.
If
you click Save Changes, the Activity page is replaced
by the My To Dos page. You can display the Activity page later to complete
the work item.
- Cancel
- Displayed if the work item is in a Claimed state and you are the owner
of the work item. You can click Cancel to leave the
work item without saving any changes that you might have made.
- Process Context
- This section is displayed only if you are authorized to view information
about the business process. It shows information about the work item and its
associated process instance and process template. It also provides the following
links for additional information about the corresponding activity and its
process:
- Activity Input Message
- This section displays information about the activity. The content of this
section, including the number and types of input fields, depends on the design
of the activity in the process template.
- Activity Output Message
- This section displays fields in the output message. The content of this
section, including the number and types of input fields, depends on the design
of the activity within the process template.
You can change the fields
in this section only if you are the owner or an editor of the work item.
When
you click Complete to complete this work item, the
information in the activity output message is stored. This information can
be used by any of the subsequent activities in the process.
