Adding documentation to the Flow Element


The Oracle BPM Suite 's BPM Studio provides process documentation features too. Within the documentation Windows allows you add documentation for the entire process or for each flow object within your process. You can create end user and Use Case documentation for your processes.

  • End User Documentation: This is the documentation the process participants see using the Oracle BPM Workspace application.

  • Use Case documentation: This is the documentation that Process Analysts and Process Developers see when updating a business process.

How to do it...

Adding documentation to the Flow Element in a process is done as follows:

  1. 1. Open the process SaleToContract.

  2. 2. From the View menu select Documentation.

  3. 3. Select the flow object within your process that you want to document.

  4. 4. You can even add documentation for the whole process or any of its individual elements.

  5. 5. From the drop-down list, select the type of documentation you want to add.

  6. 6. You can choose either Documentation or Use Case Documentation, based on your requirements.

  7. 7. Enter your documentation.

  8. 8. When you have finished, click Save.

How it works...

Have a look at the Documentation tab in the following screenshot. On the upper-left side, you can find the process name given (SalesToContract), as you are documenting the entire process. However, you can choose any Flow Element and its name will appear there, and then you can document for that particular Flow Element too.
