Adding order flows
In order to apply order flows on regular orders, you must first define workflow objects and the sequence flows in the Standard Order TSI.
You can apply order flows on the user defined order types such as a Request, Work order or Move order by linking a standard order with an order flow.
Procedure
1. Go to the Standard orders selection level.
2. Select a standard order on which you want to define an order flow.
3. Create the standard suborders that are to be linked to the tasks in the order flow.
4. Create the questionnaires and questions that are to be linked to the exclusive/inclusive gateways in the order flow and subsequently link these questionnaires to the standard order or any of its suborders.
 | For more information on creating questionnaires and questions, see Questionnaire Manager. |
5. On the Standard order details level, select Workflow objects. Here you define the order flow by adding the workflow objects.
6. On the action menu, select to add any of the following standard workflow objects: Start event, Task, Exclusive gateway, Inclusive gateway, Parallel gateway and End event.
7. Complete the fields in the data section. For a description of these fields, see the following table:
Field | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Code | Enter a code to identify the workflow object. | ||
Name | Enter a description for the workflow object. | ||
Standard order | Select a standard order on which you want to define the workflow. If you drill down by selecting a standard order, this field will be filled automatically. | ||
Standard suborder | Select a standard suborder for the workflow. This field is only available for the Standard task. | ||
Question | Select a question, depending on which the workflow will be executed. | ||
Questionnaire | Select a questionnaire with the questions for the workflow to be executed. | ||
Standard order with questionnaire | Select a standard order on which the questionnaire is defined. Since any suborder can have a questionnaire, it is important to specifically select the standard order on which the questionnaire is defined.
|
8. After creating the workflow objects, you must create the sequence flows to connect the various workflow objects of an order flow.
On the Standard order sub details level, add sequence flows such as Predecessors and Successors.
| | The Answer condition field is available only when the predecessor is an exclusive/inclusive gateway on which a question has been defined. Only the answer options linked to the question that is defined on the (exclusive/inclusive) gateway are displayed. |
9. Continue to create sequence flows until all the flow objects that you want in an order flow are covered.
