Process Flows Flashcards
flow rule
provides a visual method for modeling a process in your application using shapes and connectors to define a sequence of events
flow shape
represents a task that is accomplished as part of a business process. Flow shapes are differentiated by color, symbol, and name.
Assignment
The Assignment shape creates a task in a work list or workbasket so a user can provide input to the case. Typically, the user either provides information or selects an outcome.
Subprocess
The Subprocess shape indicates a reference to another flow rule from the current flow rule. Portions of a process can be divided into a smaller process to enable reuse in other flow rules.
Utility
The Utility shape indicates an automated system action. Pega executes automated system actions, without requiring human intervention. Examples of automated system actions include changing the stage of the current case, sending an email, or creating a new case.
Connector
Each flow shape connects to other flow shapes through the use of a connector. The Connector is used to define the sequence of flow execution. The flow execution begins with the Start shape and proceeds from one shape to the next in the order the shapes are connected to each other.
Draft mode
enables you to add flow shapes and connectors that reference other rules, even when those other rules do not yet exist. Using draft mode, you can run a process even if the rules that would otherwise be required, such as user interfaces and automated decisions, are missing.
