Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the “createUserDef” example.
- Create a new definition named “createUserDef" and open it in Designer mode.
- Drag the "createUser" step to the canvas.
- Connect the dots between the “Start” and "createUser" steps, as shown above.
- Click the "createUser" step to configure the "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step, a new username, a full name, and the email address for the application to send notification emails. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description.
- Configure the "Optional" using the following properties: Provide the user's password (encrypted and stored in the database). Provide a variable or a global to store the new user's ID upon creation. Then click the Save button.
- The “Logging” configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures workflow progress and percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step. The process step should create a new user and store the user ID in the UserID variable as configured. Navigate to Administration > User Management > search for the user to view.
