Modeling the Form Approval Activity

Once a composite form is submitted to the Guided Procedures (GP) framework, it can be collected and processed in a number of ways. This procedure shows you how to create an action with a callable object that accepts a composite form as input and provides the means for approval or rejection.

In the example process, the processor of this step is the manager responsible for the form approval. This person can view or download the form before making the decision.

You have the appropriate rights to work with GP design time.
