Work with Coaches
Coaches are the Web-based interfaces where process participants do the work that is required to complete each task. Coaches may include information about the task or process and various controls, such as drop-down lists, edit boxes, check boxes, and radio buttons that enable you to provide your own input into the process. The Coaches for tasks in a process instance are generated by the underlying services for the activities in the business process definition (BPD). For more information, see Build Coaches in Lombardi Authoring Environment User Guide.
When you run a task in Lombardi Process Portal, the task opens a Coach in a new window. For each task you may be required to complete one Coach or a series of Coaches. Fill in the information required to complete the Coach and then submit the information.
In the following example, a task generates a series of Coaches that enable a hiring
manager to create a job requisition:
- The hiring manager fills out the requisition information and then clicks the
Next button.
- The hiring manager reviews the information in the Coach and then clicks the
Submit button to complete the task.
When you complete a task, the task moves from your Inbox to your History. Another task can be generated in the same process instance, or the process instance may completed depending on the overall progress of the process instance.
