Description
As the process creator, you select the 'Adhoc-Workflow' action, and then configure the necessary tasks with the relevant recipients and optional periods.
You then start the workflow, and a loop activity processes the routing list task by task.
You can use an optional monitoring and controlling action to observe the progress and modify the remaining tasks.
Here is a preview of the graphical process model:
Important Notes
- To handle date and time outputs internationally, copy the moment-with-locales.js library (download here) to ..<core-service>\standalone\configuration\bpm-script-api\lib
- Otherwise a Zulu-formatted timestamp is given in the comments track.
- Screenshots on this page may differ slightly from the current look of this process model.

Process Start
As the process creator, you can configure the routing list during the process start.
In this example, the column "No" is used as a workaround to sequence tasks. You can have the workflow execute the third task in the list before the second task by changing "30" to a number between 10 and 20. Or you can add a new task with a recipient and a number that sorts it into the desired slot in the sequence. A sorting routine ensures that the tasks are listed and executed in numerical order.
IF the "Changeable" check box is selected, recipients can reconfigure the routing list by editing the remaining tasks or adding new ones. If the check box is not selected, no other users can edit the list during runtime.
Monitoring and Controlling the Process
As the process creator, you can monitor the routing list in your workflow inbox during runtime.
As the process creator, you can monitor the routing list in your workflow inbox during runtime. This needs to be activated on the start form. You can then edit all tasks that are not yet created or add new ones.
For compliance purposes, you can view the initial routing list by clicking the "History" tab.
Executing the Workflow
The recipients get a notification about the things to be done and can leave a comment if desired. The comments are written into the process history.
If the recipient has the corresponding permissions, he can reconfigure the routing list for any tasks still open.
Administering the Adhoc-Workflow
After importing the process model, set the correct process initiators in the main activity attributes. Here, you can also limit the number of object types used, or deactivate 'process start with object' for a start without object via Main menu > More actions.
To import the process, follow these steps:
- Download the model at the bottom of this page (it can be opened with the designer version 4 or later).
- Copy the file into the yuuvis RAD designer project directory and open the designer.
- Then configure initiators, process owners and the preset task defined in the start form script.
- Deploy the process and move it into a model group in management-studio. Then activate the model.
Todos:
- One task may be sent to each member of a group (multi-activity parallel)
- Saving and loading routing lists
- Forwarding action 'Send to last editor' which goes one task back in the routing list
- Add a last activity with a notification for the process initiator which ends the monitoring task.
- Create a process protocol file as an object and link it to the object the process was running against.
