Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide > About Workflow Process Steps and Connectors > About Workflow Process Step Types > About the User Interact StepThe User Interact step provides you a way to configure the flow of Siebel views within an application. Siebel Workflow guides users through a specified flow of Siebel views based on the user's actions, or executes a specified set of actions. This flow can be modified as business conditions change. The User Interact step can take process properties as input arguments. In this way, you can dynamically set view names as you design your interactive workflow process. The view name property is set in the View property, an unbounded picklist, of the User Interact step. User Interact Step BehaviorsUser Interact step behaviors include:
User Interact Step RestrictionsRestrictions when configuring a User Interact step include:
Defining a User Interact StepYou define a User Interact step in the Process Designer in Siebel Tools. To define a User Interact step Perform the procedure described in Adding a Step to a Workflow Process with the following modifications:
Defining Conditional Logic for a User Interact StepConditional logic can be defined on a User Interact step. This involves establishing conditional logic on one or more connectors emanating from the User Interact step. For more information, see About Conditional Logic on a Branch Connector. Defining a Run-Time Event With a User Interact StepBranches emanating from a user interact step in an interactive flow must be associated with a run-time event. If the mode property for the workflow process is set to Interactive Flow, and the workflow has a User Interact step that does not have a run-time event defined on the outgoing branch, it results in an error during validation. To avoid this error, the Workflow Mode property for the workflow process should be changed to 7.0 Flow if the run-time event is not required or not used in the user interact step. For more information, see About the Workflow Mode Property. Using a User Interact Step to Create Substitute View NamesYou can associate view names with process properties so that they can be set dynamically at run time. You do this by assigning a view name to the run-time value of a process property. To associate a view name with a process property to set view names dynamically at run time In the User Interact View property of a User Interact step, type the following string: The Workflow engine recognizes this string and assigns the view name at run time. |
