Running a Business Process
- From the Workflow Designer
Run a business process from the Workflow Designer when trouble-shooting or analyzing the design of your business process definition by using the Run Current Workflow option.
- From the Laserfiche client applications
Business processes can be run, manually, from the Laserfiche client applications when their business process rule is satisfied. Learn more about starting a business process in the Laserfiche Client or starting a business process in Web Access.
- Invoked by a workflow or another business process
A business process can be invoked by a workflow or another business process that has been configured with the Invoke Workflow activity.
- Starting rules
Business processes, like workflows, can be assigned starting rules. You can assign starting rules instead of, or in conjunction with, business process rules. A business process that is assigned a starting rule will run when a set of predefined conditions are met or when a specific schedule occurs. If assigned a starting rule, the business process will run on the following occasions:
- Automatically, when the starting rule is satisfied.
- Manually, when run by a user in a Laserfiche client application (if configured).
- From the Workflow Administration Console
Business processes assigned a schedule starting rule can be manually run from the Schedules Node in the Workflow Administration Console.
