Chapter 2 : Create an activity

A workflow is composed of activities, transitions, iterations and attributes. There are several types of activities:

To create an activity, select the icon for the desired activity type from the  workflow toolbar. The cursor will change to indicate the selected activity type. Position the cursor over the graph in the desired location and left click. This will add the icon image to the graph, and display the appropriate dialog based on the activity type. Basic fields in the dialog for the activity must be defined at this time. The individual activity dialogs are described in the following sections:

The basic fields of the dialog must be completed and press the "OK" button to cause the activity to be added. If the required fields have not been completed, an error message is displayed. Fill in the required fields and press "OK" or press the "Cancel" button to abort the operation.

If "Participant view" is enabled, then activities are organized by participants into swimlanes. In this case, if  a basic activity is added with a defined performer, then the activity will be placed in the swimlane corresponding to the selected performer. All others activities (route, block and subflow) are moved in an automatic swimlane named "SYSTEM".
