Managing Application-Specific Properties

As a Guided Procedures (GP) administrator, you can create and manage a list of properties that are used by GP runtime and design time users to categorize and filter processes based on their application type.

You have the appropriate rights to work with the Administration workset.

More information: Setting Up Portal Roles

1. In the Administration workset, navigate to General  → Manage Application-Specific Properties.
2. To create a property, choose Add and enter the following data:
   1. Technical Name - the unique identifier of the property, for example HR
   2. Name (optional) - for example, Human Resources
   3. Description (optional)
3. Choose Create.

   The new property appears in the Available Application-Specific Properties table.

4. To delete a property, select it from the table and choose Remove.
   Note

   You cannot edit an existing property. If you need to change its name or description, you must create a new one.

Once you have defined a set of application-specific properties, they can be:

• Assigned to process templates in GP design time.
  1. In the content area of the process template, scroll the tab pages to the right and open the Application-Specific Properties tab page.
  2. Select the required properties by setting the corresponding Assigned indicator and save the template.
• Used to filter process instances in GP runtime.
  1. Open the Processes view and expand the tray corresponding to the filter criteria you use, for example Running Processes.
  2. From the Filter by Application Property dropdown box, select one of the available properties.
  3. All process instances that are associated with this application property appear in the list.
• Used to filter process instances in the Universal Worklist (UWL)
