You cannot use a BP Creator element to create the following types of BPs:
- Single record
- Payment Application
- Change Commit
- General Spends
- Commit at Company Level
Description: Use this definition to create data elements that will automatically create a new business process based on a condition, such as a dollar amount, or a time frequency, such as daily or weekly.
You can use multiple BP creators on a single BP to create different types of BPs.
When the BP reaches the condition or frequency trigger in the workflow, the BP creator element on the form will automatically create a new business process. For example, you could create a data element using this definition called Work Order Creator that would generate work orders for your company’s assets at periodic intervals depending on the service needs of the asset.
Data elements built on the BP Creator definition are visible on forms in two ways:
- If the Unifier user must manually create the new BP, the element appears on the source BP as a text box with a Create button.
- If the new BP is automatically created, the element will appear as a hyperlink from the source BP to the destination BP.
