Activities

In a business process, activities are components that involve actions by either users or applications. There are two kinds of activities: tasks and sub-processes. Tasks are activities performed by users (user tasks) or applications (service tasks). Sub-processes are processes that occur within a larger business process and contain their own activities.

In a process diagram, activities are represented by gray rectangular icons. Timer catch events and signal catch events can be attached to user tasks and sub-processes. An activity can lead to multiple outflows, where which outflows are taken depends on what happens in the activity.
