About Step Types

You use the Palettes pane in the Process Designer to define a Workflow Process. For more information on the Process Designer, see Using the Process Designer.

The Palettes pane contains the following step types, which you can add to your Workflow Process as required:

• Start - for more information, see Adding a Start Step.

• Business Service - for more information, see Adding a Business Service Step.

• Decision - for more information, see Adding a Decision Step.

• Sub Process - for more information, see Adding a Sub Process Step.

• Siebel Operation - for more information, see Adding a Siebel Operation Step.

• Task - for more information, see Adding a Task Step.

• User Interact - for more information, see Adding a User Interact Step.

• Wait - for more information, see Adding a Wait Step.

• Stop - for more information, see Adding a Stop Step.

• End - for more information, see Adding an End Step.

After you define the steps in a Workflow Process, you must add and define (if required) the connectors in the Workflow Process and (optionally) fine-tune the properties for each Workflow Process step. For more information, see the following:

• To add and define Workflow Process connectors, see Adding a Workflow Process Connector.

• To define the properties for a Workflow Process step, see Defining a Property for a Workflow Process Step.

• To define Workflow Process error exceptions, see Example of Error Exception Handling and Defining an Error Exception Connector to Handle an Update Conflict.
