Business process activities

An activity is an operation performed at a specific business process step. It looks like a BPMN graphical element for modeling and is added to the business process designer.

The activities are needed to implement complex conditional logic. They can execute custom scripts or call a process created as a part of a module. The user can reuse the action multiple times by dragging and dropping the item onto any process diagram and configuring it.

For an action to be executed, the module at whose level it is created must be enabled.

Create an activity in a module

1. Go to Administration > Modules.
2. Hover the mouse over a custom module and click the gear icon.
3. Go to the Business process activities tab.
4. Click the +Activity button and enter the information in the window that opens.

• Name*. Name of the business process activity.
• Code*. Unique identifier required to use the business process activity in business processes.
• Type. Select the type of activity:

• Script. Executes a script at a certain step in the business process.
• Call process. Starts a business process created on the Processes tab of the module.
• Delegate. Sends data request from ELMA365 to an external service, processes them via Web API methods and returns the result.

5. Click Save to go to the business process activity settings.
