Use

Guided Procedures (GP) enables process contributors to check different aspects of a process at runtime by means of different views.

You can configure the available runtime views when designing the process template. You can also specify the visibility of screen panels at runtime.

Procedure

Define Runtime Generic and Custom Views

...

       1.      In the gallery, select the relevant process template, and open its design time.

       2.      To switch to edit mode, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text (Edit).

       3.      Open the Runtime View tab page.

       4.      You can add the following view types:

       Generic views

The GP framework provides a set of predefined runtime views, which you can use. The following table provides an overview of the available generic views and the information they provide.

       Custom views

Additional views can be implemented as well. You can add them using Add Custom Views.

       5.      Select the default view that to be displayed initially when the process is started.

Note

You can remove a view by selecting it and choosing Remove View.

However, at least one view must be defined for a process.

Define the Visibility of Runtime Panels

If you want to further customize the way your process template looks at runtime, you can hide specific panels of the screen. You can only do this in the design time on process level.

       6.      In the Runtime View tab page, select one or more of the following checkboxes:

       Title Bar

       Phase Navigator

       Contextual Panel

       Activity Status Bar

Note

A user with an Overseer role can see all panels at runtime, no matter which checkboxes the designer of the process has selected in the design time.

For more information on the runtime work center structure, see Getting Familiar with the GP Runtime.

       7.      Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text (Save).

Result

At runtime, only certain runtime elements are visible to process contributors and they may switch between the predefined views.
