Specify Connector Visibility in Process Editors

You can specify a connector's visibility settings including if it would appear in Activities palette of a structured process or under the Connector category of a dynamic process.

Note:

Connectors defined in your process application are always visible when editing form controls that support events. See Add Dynamic Behavior to Forms.

In a structured or dynamic process, designers can implement a connector in one of these ways:

  • By adding a service activity and selecting the connector in its implementation. Designers can configure a connector this way regardless of visibility settings.

  • By selecting the connector directly from the Activities palette's Integration category of a structured process or from the Activities drop-down list's Connectors category of a dynamic process. Listing connectors in this way enables designers to quickly make use of connectors configured by others.

Follow these steps to configure a connector’s visibility in process editors. Note that connectors are always visible for implementation in service tasks.

  1. From a selected process application, click the Connectors tab and open a connector from the Connectors main page.
  2. Click Visibility Visibility icon from the side menu.
    The Visibility pane is displayed.
  3. In the Show in Palette field, specify whether the connector should be visible as an integration activity in the Activities palette of a structured process or a dynamic process's Connector category.
  4. In the What to show field, specify the visibility level you want to show - connector, resource, or operation.
  5. In the How to show it field, optionally specify a different label to display for the connector, and its resources and operations, under the Integrations category of the Activities palette in a structured process or under the Connectors category of the Activities drop-down list in a dynamic process.
