GP Work Center
Definition
The GP work center is the central point of entry to all available process instances and their associated tasks and provides a comprehensive overview.
Use
There are two ways how you can start new processes:
· Starting (Initiating) a New Process
You can initiate a process template created in the design time for execution in the runtime. This means you make the process template available as an executable process instance.
· Creating and Starting a Simple Process
If you have the GP User portal role assigned (see also Portal Roles), you can use two wizards for creating and starting your own simple processes.
You can choose from the following four overviews:
· Overview
Overview of all activity and display options within the runtime.
Overview of all overdue tasks as well as all erroneous processes of which you are the owner.
Overview of all processes to which you contribute depending on your process roles.
· Tasks
Overview of all pending and completed tasks.
