Use

In this Customizing activity, you define step types and assign actions to them. You assign the step types to non-background workflow tasks where the step types determine the visibility of buttons and the associated actions on the UI. You can use the workflow builder to make these assignments for a non-rule-based workflow. You can use BRFplus to make the assignments for a rule-based workflow.

You can use this activity to create a new step type or edit an existing one. To create a new step type, use the following procedure:

1. Choose the New Entries pushbutton.

2. In the Step Type field, enter an ID.

3. In the Description field, enter a short description for your step type.

4. In the Window Title field, enter the title for the screen generated by the step.

To assign an action to a step type, use the following procedure:

1. Select a step type.

2. Choose the New Entries pushbutton.

3. Select an action.

4. Press Enter to confirm.

You can use the Customizing activity Define Actions for Change Request UIs to create new actions if required.

Activities

Example

You want to create a step type that includes a new action to refer a change request to an expert. The step will also include the Approve and Reject actions. You enter the step type ID and the description Step with Expert Review. You enter Review Change Request as the window title. You save your work and go to the Assign Actions view. You then choose the New Entries pushbutton. You assign the Approve, Reject, and Refer to Expert actions to your new step type and save.

You have finished creating your new step type. If processes have been assigned to all the actions, it is ready for use.
