Insert Business Process
A
business process has to be part of the site structure before it
is possible to make it available for users.
Having the business process in the site structure makes it
possible to control where the business process is to be shown - and
who should be able to use it.
Before inserting a business process in the site structure it is
necessary that the process which will execute the business process
and the presentation which will define the interface of the
business process is already defined.
See Create Process and
Define Layout for
Process for more information about how to do this.
It is possible to insert a business process in the structure
without specifying the presentation and process (press "Finish"
instead of "Next" before selecting the presentation). In this case
a default presentation showing the comment entered for the business
process is chosen.
The menu item "Site
structure -> Site Structure" is used for accessing the site
structure tree.
The business process can be used in three different
contexts.
- The business process will populate a frame, when the frame is
loaded by the frameset
- The business process will populate a frame, when the frame is
activated by a menu item
- The business process is executed when the site is loaded - and
populates the entire browser page
Follow these steps to attach a business process to a frameset
element in order to specify initial load of a frame:
- In the Administration interface left menu select "Site
structure -> Site structure"
- Select the frameset that should load the frame containing the
business process in the site structure tree.
- Press "Add". This starts a wizard that will lead you through
the process.
- Select "Create new site element" and "Business Process", press
"Next".
- Select the presentation of the business process to be used by
pressing "Select".
Use the search facility to find the presentation.
- Supply information about the site element, and press "Next".
- Text - the name that you want to appear for the menu site
element in the site structure.
- Frame - Name of the frame.
- Comments - Optional comments.
- Assign the roles for the site element, and press "Finish".
Follow these steps to attach a business process to a menu
element as a menu item:
- In the Administration interface left menu select "Site
structure -> Site structure"
- Select the menu that should contain the new business process
menu item.
- Press "Add". This starts a wizard that will lead you through
the process.
- Select "Create new site element" and "Frameset", press
"Next".
- Select the presentation of the business process to be used by
pressing "Select".
Use the search facility to find the presentation.
- Supply information about the site element, and press "Next".
- Menu item text - this is the text that will be shown for the
menu item in the menu. (It will also be shown in the site structure
tree).
- Alignment - indicating whether you want to show the menu item
in the first (left) or second (right) section of the menu.
- Sequence - this specifies the order that the menu items will be
shown in. Be aware that by defining two or more menu items with the
same combination of alignment and sequence will result in only one
of them being shown in the menu. Which menu item to show is decided
from the roles assigned to the menu items in combination with the
roles assigned to the current session.
- Display in frame - this specifies the frame you want to split
using the frameset when the menu item is activated.
- Comments - optional field for your comments
- Assign the roles for the site element, and press "Finish".

element, populating the entire page with the content of the
business process:

structure -> Site structure"
- Select the site root element.
- Press "Add". This starts a wizard that will lead you through
the process.
- Select "Create new site element" and "Business Process", press
"Next".
