Modeling human workflows

Human workflow activities can be added to your business flows from the Human Workflow palette.

A human workflow is part of a business flow that involves input or action from a person. The Human Workflow palette allows you to add an activity associated with a human to your business model. The following list provides a brief description of the choices on the human workflow palette.

Procedure

• Human task activity. Use the human task activity to send a process-related task out to a human for completion. This activity is used in conjunction with the human task editor.
• Collaboration scope. A collaboration scope is a flexible workflow for human activities, where a greater emphasis is placed on the expertise of the user to adapt the business flow to the requirements on a particular case.

• Adding a human task
  A human task is, quite simply, a unit of work done by a person. When used from the BPEL process editor, it can either send a process-related task out to a person for completion, or receive a message from a person into the process.
• Adding a collaboration scope
  Collaboration scopes allow you to create enhanced dynamic workflows.
