Introduction

Process Builder will open up when clicked from the Quick Navigation Bar (See Quick Navigator). Process Builder is one of the highlights of Joget Workflow v5 where it allows one to design processes on the browser itself without the need of installing any additional components. The Process Builder allows one to design process(es) for the Joget Workflow App in an easy drag-and-drop manner.

New Feature

In Joget DX8 Process Builder, the following are new features: List View & Mapping Tab

List View

List View is a new feature in Joget DX8. List View allows one to view all the elements that have been placed inside the Process Builder, while also letting one to configure the properties to each of the element inside the process.

Mapping Tab

The mapping tab is a new feature in Joget DX8. The Process Mapper feature from Joget DX 7 has now been integrated into the Process Builder, letting one configure the mappings of the elements inside a process within the same screen, instead of a separate configuration screen in previous versions.

Participants

The Participant node is used to declare a new participant swimlane to represent a role/person/entity (e.g. Claimant). Please see Map Participants to Users for more information about the mappings.

Join Type

Incoming transition treatment type. (Only appear when there are two transitions mapped into an activity)

  • AND
    • AND operator, if both transitions are true, the result is true, else the result is false if one transition is false.
  • XOR
    • XOR operator, if either of the transitions is true, then the result is true, else if both the transitions are true, then the result is false.

Split Type

Outgoing transition treatment type. (Only appear when there are two transitions mapped from an activity)

  • AND
    • AND operator, if both transitions are true, the result is true, else the result is false if one transition is false.
  • XOR
    • XOR operator, if either of the transitions is true, then the result is true, else if both the transitions are true, then the result is false.
Deadlines


Multiple Deadlines can be set for each activity.
Learn about Deadlines and Escalations.

Limit

SLA Limit for the activity. Number is expected in this field.


Tools

Tool node is used to be mapped to Process Tool plugin, to trigger/achieve certain functionality programmatically, as part of the process flow. Please see Map Tools to Plugins for more information about the mappings.

Subflow & Deadlines

Subflow node is used to trigger the start of another process under the same App.

Execution

Synchronous or Asynchronous execution.

Parameters

Workflow variable(s) to be passed over to the Subflow.

Join Type

Incoming transition treatment type. (Only appear when there are two transitions mapped into a subflow)

  • AND
    • AND operator, if both transitions are true, the result is true, else the result is false if one transition is false.
  • XOR
    • XOR operator, if either of the transitions is true, then the result is true, else if both the transitions are true, then the result is false.

Split Type

Deadlines


Multiple Deadlines can be set. This is only applicable when Subflow is set to Asynchronous execution.
