Making Requests
A request is a form you submit to start an automated business process. (The form is usually designed in Process Developer and deployed to an Process Server.)
The form is based on information needed for the starting activity of a business process. If a field is required, it is marked with an asterisk.
You may have a personal list of request forms, and they may differ from those of other users.
To view a list of requests:
- 1. Select Requests from the left-hand navigation area of Process Central.
- 2. If available, select a request folder.
- 3. Single-click a request to preview it; double-click to open it in a new tab.
Use Search to locate a request in the current list. You can type in a word from the request name or description. For example, to find all requests with the word "human", you can type human in the Search box.
To submit a request:
- •Select a request from the list of requests.
- •Expand the viewing area to see the entire form. The Send Request (or similar) button is at the bottom of the form.
- •Enter or select data for all fields displayed with an asterisk, and optionally fill in the remaining fields.
The form may have a field for adding an attachment.
- •Select Send Request.
A response can be returned to you immediately, depending on business process executed.
- •Close the Request tab, or if you are using the request in the preview area, clear out the data in the form by selecting Reset Form.
