Adding an activity to the Process Designer

A variety of activities are already available for you to use in XBOUND. (If no activities are available, this is a sign that the database was not correctly initialized. Please refer to XBOUND Installation Guide.) You can also add your own, for example if an activity was developed specifically for your company. The activities are then available in the far right pane of the Process Designer.

Use this procedure to add a new activity to XBOUND:

1. Using the XBOUND Management Center, open a console containing the Process Designer.

2. In the Process Designer, select File > New Activity.

3. In the Choose Activity Group dialog, select an activity group to add the new activity to. (The far right pane of the Process Designer is divided into different activity groups.)

4. In the New Activity dialog, after Path to DLL, select the path to the DLL file containing the activity. (List of standard activities with their file names.) Then the system fills in the name, version, and class name. Adjust the other settings if desired.

   * Note: Links to Capture Framework Help will not work if RCF is not installed, or if you are not running this XBOUND Help from the same folder as where Capture Framework Help is installed. See Additional documentation for details.

   ** Note: Links to ReadSoft Capture Components Help will not work if RCC is not installed, or if you are not running this XBOUND Help from the same folder as where ReadSoft Capture Components Help is installed. See Additional documentation for details.

   When adding the RCC activities Classification, Interpretation, or Knowledge Processing, we recommend selecting Automatically as the Runtime behavior.

5. Click OK.

6. Assign the activity to at least one instance of the XBOUND Activities Service.

After you add a new activity, you implement it in your XBOUND process by adding process steps based on the new activity.
