Example:
Let’s build and execute the “createCalendarEventDef” example.
- Create a new definition called “createCalendarEventDef”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag a "createCalendarEvent" step to the canvas
- Connect the dots between the start and "createCalendarEvent" step
- Click the "createCalendarEvent" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name to the step. Provide the event start and finish date and time. Select the time zone from the dropdown list. Provide description text for the event. Provide event location information.
- Click the button to provide the event details summary info. After summarizing the event details, a Template popup will open. Fill out the template design per your requirement, or use the existing templates from the dropdown.
- Click the button to select participant users.
- Click the "createCalendarEvent" step to configure its "Optional" properties. Provide the email addresses of external participant users (separated by semicolons).
- The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute. Render the process instance. Click on the process step to view the properties. The step should create an iCal calendar file and route it to the participants using the email queue.
