This feature displays the process definition workflow on a new page, helping users become familiar with the overall workflow objectives.
On the Process Definition page, select the process from the table and click on the View - Render menu option.
The process workflow is rendered on the same page, as shown below. Use the Search box to focus on a specific workflow area by searching for the step name. Observe the workflow created and updated by the user information. Observe the workflow that has been made and updated based on the datetime information. Observe the number of instances in which the definitions are used.
Click the step icon on the render definition page to view the step properties, as shown in the image below.
Click on the View menu to navigate to “Execution Info, Variables, Globals, Business Objects, Form Variables, Properties, Step Returns, Task Reminders, Statistics, and Previous-Next” features.
Render the critical path of the Process Definition.
On the Render Definition page, click on the View - Critical Path menu option.
The process with the critical path workflow is shown with a dotted line, as illustrated below. The critical path represents the longest route determined by the process's design.
Select the “Display Dates” field to view the datetime values at each process step along the critical path.
