Embedding sub-process workflows
Before you begin
As a catalog administrator, start to create the workflow, as described in Designing-a-simple-workflow.
To create a subprocess workflow
- Log in to the Catalog console and open workflow designer.
- Drag the Sub-Process element onto the canvas.
- Double-click the Sub-Process element to open it. Drag to expand the element further if you need more room.
The Start and End elements are already provided. - Drag elements to design the subprocess.
- Double-click to collapse the subprocess, so you can move the subprocess as a single activity.
When a Sub Process element is moved anywhere on the canvas, the subprocess it contains moves with it, even if the element is open. - Draw sequence flows from other elements to add one input to and one output from the Sub Process element.
- (Optional) Map input parameters to the subprocess if any of the elements it contains require inputs.
The following illustration shows an example of embedded sub-process workflow:
