Using System Manager to implement a call-triggered flow option

You use System Manager to configure a collaboration for a call-triggered flow. To implement a call-triggered flow option for a collaboration, you must first create a new collaboration object from one of the existing collaboration templates in the repository. To create the new collaboration object, follow these steps:

  1. In System Manager, right-click on the Collaboration Objects folder and choose New Collaboration Object.

    The Create New Collaboration Object dialog box opens, listing the installed templates in the Template Name column.

  2. Click the name of a collaboration template from which you want to configure a collaboration object to support a call-triggered flow.
  3. Enter a name for the collaboration object in the Collaboration object name field. Click Next.

    The Bind Collaboration Ports dialog box opens.

Once the collaboration object exists, you can configure it for call-triggered flow with the steps listed in Table 3.

Note:
A collaboration can have multiple call-triggered flow ports configured.

Table 3 provides a summary of how to configure a collaboration for a call-triggered flow. For more on collaboration configuration and System Manager, see the System Implementation Guide and the Collaboration Development Guide.
