This feature provides a UI for creating a new process instance, initializing the parameters if necessary, and executing the process instance in regular or test mode (on behalf of another user). The Generate AI Test Data feature is available to populate the variables and globals with test data. 

Use one of the following two ways. 

On the process designer page, select the Actions - Create Instance menu option. The Create Instance pane is displayed in the right pane. Click the Generate button to create an instance name.  Uncheck the Execute checkbox. Click the Create button to generate a new process instance. Click the Generate AI Test Data button to populate the variables and globals with test data. A confirmation message is displayed in the top right-end corner. 

 

A new process instance is generated in the background, and the status is “Not Started.” You must navigate the Process—Instance page to execute the process instance with parameters. 

 

The other way is to navigate to the Process-Instance page. Select the Actions—Create menu option. A popup is rendered for configuration. Select the process definition from the drop-down list. You may view the definition list using the sort filter buttons—By Last Modified or By Name. Click the Generate button to create an instance name.  Uncheck the Execute checkbox. Click the Create button to generate a new process instance.

Select a process instance, and click the Execute - With Params menu option. 

 

The page renders in a new tab as below. You may execute the process instance at a future date-time using the Calendar feature.  

 

You may select the test user from the drop-down list for test-mode execution. Click the Generate AI Test Data button to populate the variables and globals with test data. Click on Execute or Execute in the Test Mode button.
