Defining supporting processes for a case type

You can define supporting processes that users can run while a case is in any stage or step of the life cycle. By allowing users to choose when additional processing is needed, you can support out-of-sequence events in a case.

  1. In the Explorer panel, click Cases, and then click the case type that you want to open.

  2. On the Settings tab, click Case-wide supporting processes.

  3. Click + Add process.

  4. In the Process field, press the Down Arrow key and select the name of a flow.

  5. If the flow accepts parameter values, enter property names or values in the fields that are displayed in the Parameters section.

  6. Select one or more methods for running the flow:

    Tip: Select at least one check box. Otherwise, the flow is listed as a supporting process but never runs.

  7. Click OK.

  8. Click Save.

When a supporting process runs, it is inserted as a step in the current stage of the case.
