Element	Description
Phase Navigator	The Phase Navigator shows the individual phases of the running process. The navigator is displayed in the process title bar, provided that the process consists of multiple phases.
Attachments	Attachments can be assigned to individual actions, blocks, and the entire process. This assignment is possible in the design time during the creation of the process template and in the runtime during the process execution. The following types of attachments exist: Files URL User Note the following differentiation: Attachments are assigned at action level, block level, or process level. Attachments with validity for the entire process are displayed in the Additional Resources and Process Information views. Attachments with validity for a running phase (action), as well as its parent nodes, are only displayed during this phase and in the views Process Activities Process Information Attachments are assigned at design time or runtime. Attachments from the design time are read-only. You cannot delete them at runtime. At runtime, attachments can be opened, added, and deleted. In the following views, attachments can be added and deleted: Additional Resources (attachments at process level) Process Activities (attachments at action level and its parent blocks and process) Process Information (attachments at process, action, and block levels) See: Attachments Process Instance Generic Views
Info Callable Objects	A variant of the Callable Object. The Info Callable Object can be assigned to any activity in the design time. Its input parameters can be assigned to context parameters. Info Callable Objects are not activities. They do not have a workflow status and can therefore be executed as many times as you wish. You can manually set the status to read.

Description

Phase Navigator

The Phase Navigator shows the individual phases of the running process. The navigator is displayed in the process title bar, provided that the process consists of multiple phases.

Attachments

Attachments can be assigned to individual actions, blocks, and the entire process. This assignment is possible in the design time during the creation of the process template and in the runtime during the process execution. The following types of attachments exist:

Files
URL
User

Note the following differentiation:

Attachments are assigned at action level, block level, or process level.
- Attachments with validity for the entire process are displayed in the Additional Resources and Process Information views.
- Attachments with validity for a running phase (action), as well as its parent nodes, are only displayed during this phase and in the views
  - Process Activities
  - Process Information
Attachments are assigned at design time or runtime.
- Attachments from the design time are read-only. You cannot delete them at runtime.
- At runtime, attachments can be opened, added, and deleted.

Process Activities (attachments at action level and its parent blocks and process)
Process Information (attachments at process, action, and block levels)

Info Callable Objects

A variant of the Callable Object. The Info Callable Object can be assigned to any activity in the design time. Its input parameters can be assigned to context parameters. Info Callable Objects are not activities. They do not have a workflow status and can therefore be executed as many times as you wish. You can manually set the status to read.
