Using the Business Process Editor with Workflows

Note: Because some workflow steps cannot be defined with the graphical editor, workflow development can involve direct editing in the XML representation and some amount of Java coding. An understanding of XML and Java syntax is a general requirement for workflow development.

The IdentityIQ user interface provides a graphical tool for defining and editing workflow processes. You can use the IdentityIQ Business Process Editor to:

• Create a new workflow or edit an existing workflow

• Set up the workflow structure

• Create the steps that define the behavior or the workflow

• Outline the transitions between the steps

• Define forms

• Assign conditions

This tool also provides a graphical representation of the process flow that can be used to create documentation about the activities included in the workflow.

Typically, administrators use the graphical editor to outline the process and then move to the XML representation to add to or adjust the details of each step. After you save the process, you can view, edit, or export the XML representation from the IdentityIQ Debug pages.
