At this point, you've built the product form to capture all the the product related details including colour and size. The next step is to design the workflow. In this section, you will implement the workflow for product model.

Process design perspective provides a visual modeling environment for defining processes and establishing workflows. The sophistication of this modeling environment ensures that the most complex of business processes can be configured with ease. You will learn about this in detail in the "Process Design" chapter. For now, this section takes you through the steps required to implement the process design for product and, where appropriate, introduces relevant concepts related to process design.

Follow the directions given in this section and implement the process design for product or learn about process design covered in detail in the "Process Design" chapter and then proceed with the product form implementation. Click here to learn about process design or continue reading.



Default workflow for a data model
   
Open process design perspective. By default, 
  • All models have a "Start" and "End" workflow activity.
  • The records in the "Start" worflow activity can be accessed by everyone.
  • The records in the "End" workflow activity cannot be accessed by anyone.
   
When a workflow activity is selected, it's name is displayed in the "Namebox' and the assigned user/role name is displayed in "Formula bar". 

Only the configured user or users belonging to the configured role can access the instances in that workflow activity.
   

By configuring the user/user roles for an activity, access to a functionality can be restricted.



User access privileges
   
Select the "Start" workflow activity.
   
Rename this workflow activity as "Product Draft" by updating the value in the Namebox.
   
Only the product team must be able to access product menu i.e. create product details. 

Click on the role icon and enter the product team role name in the formula bar.
   
 



Product List
   
Insert a workflow activity between start and end.
   
Rename this workflow activity as "Product List" by updating the value in the Namebox.
   
Only the product team must be able to view/edit product details. 

Click on the role icon and enter the product team role name in the formula bar.
   
   




Insert a goto activity between product list workflow activity and end workflow activity.
   
Rename this workflow activity as "GoTo List" by updating the value in the Namebox.
   
 
   
What's the next step?

Implementing queue filter.
