Working with Process Specifications

You create Process specifications to define process flows. Process flows are available in UIM as workflow templates that define ordered sequences of activities and transitions that you can include in engineering work orders and business interactions. The Process specification name in Design Studio becomes the name of the workflow template in UIM.

You include Process specifications in Engineering Work Order specifications in Design Studio. You deploy the Engineering Work Order specifications into UIM to create workflow templates.

Note:

The engineering work orders you create in Design Studio are not the same as engineering work orders in UIM. Engineering work orders in Design Studio are used as containers for Process, Task, and Checklist specifications. Engineering work orders and the specifications they contain become workflow templates in UIM. See "Designing Workflows" for more information.
