Activating Workflow Processes for Self-Registration


When you install your Siebel eBusiness Applications, you are provided several workflow processes that control self-registration for several Siebel applications.

NOTE:  For information about how to view, revise, activate, and deploy workflow processes, see Siebel Business Process Designer Administration Guide.

The self-registration workflow processes together present a sequence of forms for the user to complete, perform data validation, and invoke database operations.

  • User Registration Initial Process. For purposes of self-registration, this process is invoked when a user clicks New User on the login form or clicks Check Out during the buying process in Siebel eSales. This process is also invoked by clicking Forgot Your Password? on the login form. The process branches to one of the following subprocesses:
    • User Registration Process
    • User Registration Forgot Password Process
  • User Registration Process. This is the main self-registration process. It updates the database, including:
    • Creating a new User record
    • Checking for a duplicate User record
    • Updating the existing User record with new information if a duplicate record is found
  • User Registration SubProcess. This process is a subprocess to User Registration Process. It performs all of the information gathering and validation. The validated information includes:
    • A duplicate user ID does not exist in the database
    • The Password and Verify Password entries are identical
    • All required fields are completed

The registration workflow processes branch at various stages depending on these cases:

  • The application is Siebel Partner Portal.
  • The application is other than Siebel Partner Portal. This is the default case, and it includes Siebel eSales, Siebel eService, Siebel eCustomer, Siebel Training, Siebel Events, and Siebel eMarketing.

Table 18 lists the views specified in the workflow processes that provide interactive forms during self-registration.
