       3.      Choose  (Insert) to add the Application block to the process flow.

       4.      Select the process and open the Parameters tab page.

Result

You can now go to GP runtime and start the process. When you initiate the process, you will be required to assign users to each process role – that is, Applicant, HR Associate, HR Manager, and the default process roles Administrator, Owner, and Overseer.

At runtime, the applicant enters his or her data in the Enter Data step. The system fills the interactive form with this data and sends it to the HR Associate, who enters a comment, and submits the form back to the system. In the step Approve or Reject, the HR Manager considers the comments from the associate, and makes the final decision whether to approve or reject the application. The decision is communicated to the applicant by e-mail.
