To create an interactive task that participants can perform
in a web-based user interface, you can implement an activity in your
business process definition (BPD) by using a client-side human service.
To create a client-side human service for the implementation of your
activity, use the Activity wizard.
Before you begin
For some steps in this task,
you must use the IBM® Process
Designer desktop
editor.
About this task
When you add an activity to the BPD, you initially implement
the activity by using the default human service, which you can open
by double-clicking the activity in the desktop editor.
To implement
the activity by using a new client-side human service, complete the
following steps:
Procedure
- Open the Process Designer desktop editor.
- Open the BPD in the Diagram view.
- Right-click the activity that you want to work with, select Activity
Wizard, and complete the wizard.
- Under Library Element Selection,
click Create a client-side human service.
- Enter the name of the client-side human
service.
- Use the Intended for use
on multiple devices check box to specify whether you want
the new client-side human service to be used on multiple device types.
- When Intended for use on multiple devices is
selected, only responsive controls are used for all the new coaches
and the new coach content that are added to the client-side human
service.
- When Intended for use on multiple devices is
clear, stock controls are used for the new coaches and coach content
if a dependency to the Coaches toolkit already exists in the toolkits
list.
- Click Finish. The
new client-side human service, which includes a coach by default,
is created and attached to the activity.
- Double-click the activity for which you created the client-side
human service. The new client-side human service
opens in the web editor in the Diagram view.
- Optional: If you want to
revisit the selection you made in the wizard, click the Overview tab
and select or clear Intended for use on multiple devices to
specify the appropriate use of your client-side human service on multiple
device types.
- Click the Coaches tab and then click
the listed coach. The coach designer is where you customize
the coach layout and create or edit the bindings that are between
inputs and outputs. Notice that when the coach designer is open, the Palette view
shows all the elements, sections, and controls that you can use in
a coach. For more information about the coach designer, see Building coaches.
- In the coach designer, add controls and buttons to the
coach, as required by your client-side human service.
- Click Save all in the main toolbar to save your work.
