Viewing GP Content

Use

You can search the design time (gallery) for all types of active and deprecated GP objects and view their attributes. You can examine the interaction between process blocks and check the mappings of input, output and local contexts. Thus, you can detect any possible problems in parameter consolidation and locate them accurately in the data flow of the process.

Procedure

To search for GP objects, open the GP Content tab page.

Finding Objects

Define your search based on the following parameters:

  • Folder (Folder)
  • Object type (Type)
  • Object status (Status)

    When you search for deprecated objects, the system displays only those deprecated objects that are still in use.

Viewing Object Attributes

To view the attributes of an object, select the respective object in the result list. The system displays an object overview below the result list. The following table shows you the available attributes for each object type.

Object Types and their Attributes

Attribute Object type Remark

Basic Data

All object types

Contains object title and object description

Permissions

All object types

You can see the permissions granted for each object. For more information, see Granting Permissions .

Attachments

Action

Block

Process

Files, URL and user can be assigned to objects in the design time and runtime. For more information, see Attachments .

Due Date

Action

Process

You can view the following:

  • Due date for completion
  • Notifications that occurred before the due date
  • Callable objects executed for each notification

For more information, see Defining and Configuring Notifications

Roles

Block

Process

You can see the block roles as well as the users and tasks assigned to each role.

For more information, see Process Roles .

Exceptions

Block

Process

You can see what, if any, exceptions occurred during the process flow. For more information, see Configuring Exception Handling

Open Flow

Process

Action

Block

You can view the following:

  • Parameter assignments
  • Input context
  • Output context
  • Local context
  • Assignment of input and output parameters

Checking the Flow of Objects

The GP Monitor gives you a read-only reference of a process and the flow between its items. To view the flow between object items, choose Open Flow and select an object in the result list. The system displays an object overview below the result list. The following table shows you the parameters for each object type.

Object Types and Parameters

Property Object type Remark

Input Type

All object types

Contains the input context of the object.

Output Type

All object types

Contains the output context of the object.

Local Type

Action

Block

Process

Contains the local context of an object.

Parent Input Mapping

Callable Object

Action

Block

Contains the mapping between the parent input source and target location.

Parent Output Mapping

Callable Object

Action

Block

Contains the mapping between the parent output source and target location.

Input to Local Mapping

Action

Block

Process

To view the consolidation between input parameters of callable objects and their mapping to the local context within an action, choose Show Trivial Mappings.

Local to Output Mapping

Action

Block

Process

To view the mapping between the local context and the consolidated output parameters of callable objects within an action, choose Show Trivial Mappings.

Result States

Action

Contains the result states of an action that requires specific outcome, for example approval notification.
