Adobe Offline Forms Usage

New

Business Process Management (BPM) enables you to integrate Adobe forms in your business process by wrapping them in offline tasks at design time. Forms are then sent as a PDF attachment in an e-mail message sent to potential owners of the offline task. At runtime, the actual owner of the offline task submits the form as a PDF attachment through e-mail back to the BPM framework.

For more information, see Using Adobe Offline Forms .

Task Execution

New

The BPM framework has a task execution user interface, where:

• You can share your task with other users so that they can contribute and provide input to the task execution.

  For more information, see Sharing a Task .

• Tasks are delegated and put back from a different menu in the task execution UI.

• Notes and attachments are added through the View menu. You can add and download attachments in the form of documents or URLs, and add notes that are visible on all process levels.

Process Visualization

New

Using the process visualization layout and menus, you can view details on completed tasks, and also see indicators for activities in error state. You can also open a subprocess and view details on it.

Accessible Process Visualization

New

BPM enables the representation of the process flow in an accessible version, so that navigation through a process is simple and straightforward. You can check which tasks are completed, active and upcoming, as well as details for each task. Quick navigation is enhanced through fixed and customized bookmarks which act as "anchors" in the process.

Furthermore, the Visit History enables you to easily navigate to each history step you select.
