Use the Specifications tab to link the entire flow to the application specification implemented by the flow and to display a list of the specifications that are linked to individual components of the flow. See About Application Specifications.

For Entire Flow

This section references the specification implemented by this flow.

Field

Description

Task Name

Displays the text, Specification for entire flow, when a specification is linked to the flow.

Click the specification to open its rule form.

Specification Name

The name of the specification linked to this flow.

Implementation

The name of the implementation defined in the specification linked to this flow.

Click Edit to select, update, or delete the specification that you want to link to the entire flow. A window opens in which you specify the link to the specification. In the window, use and to add, modify, and delete links to specifications. Use to open the rule form for the selected application specification. Use the following fields to define a particular specification.

Field

Description

Application

Select the name of the application that implements the specification.

Work Type

Select the work type in the application that applies to the specification.

Specification

Select the specification associated with the application and work type that defines this flow.

Save and Close

Click to apply your selections to the Specifications tab and close the window.

For Flow-Wide Local Actions

This section lists specifications that are specified in the flow's Flow-wide local actions section located on the Design tab. Click a column heading to sort the list. Click a row to open the rule form for the specification.

For each row, the following information is listed.

Field

Description

Task Name

Displays the text, Flow-wide Local Action when the local action is specified on the Design tab.

Specification Name

The name of the specification that appears on the Design tab corresponding to the listed local action.

Implementation

The name of the rule that implements the local action (as specified on the Design tab.

For Flow Components

This section lists the specifications that support the processing components of this flow. The listed specifications are those specified in the property panels of flow shapes in the diagram (which appears on the Diagram tab). Click a column heading to sort the list. Click a row to display the rule form for that particular specification.

Field

Description

Task Name

The name of task in the flow that is processed by this specification.

Specification Name

The name of the specification specified in the property panel of the shape corresponding to the listed task.

Implementation

The name of the rule that implements the listed task in the running process. (The behavior of the flow at that point in the process is defined by the implementation details in the corresponding specification.)
