Add a Sub process

You can add a sub-process to your workflow from any node. When you add a sub-process, you must map the inputs and output parameters with the variables.

  1. Click below the Start node or any other node.

    The Add activity dialog box is displayed.

  2. Click below the Start node or any other node.

    The Add activity dialog box is displayed.

  3. On the Type list, select Sub Process. (Default: Manual Task)
  4. By default, "Sub Process" appears as the Title. You can modify the name for your sub-process as required.
  5. On the Base process list, select the process available for use within the workflow and select either option.
    Static

    Creates subjob on the base process at runtime.

    We recommend you select this option for backward compatibility if upgrading from a previous version.
    Dynamic

    To create subjob by overriding the base process with another process at runtime, for Override process, select either option:

    • ID: At runtime, you need to provide the ID of the process that will override the base process.
    • Name: At runtime, you need to provide the name of the process that will override the base process.

    • The base process and the process that will override the base process must have the same input and output variables.
    • If you do not provide a process ID or Name at runtime, the subjob is created on the base process. If you provide a wrong process ID or name, no subjob is created.

    Refer to "Add a workflow to Quick Workflow" in the TotalAgility Designer Help for more information.

    The input and output parameters for the selected process appear in the respective fields.

  6. Map the Input and Output parameters using process or server variables.

    If the required variable is not available, you can create a new variable. Click and in the New dialog box, create variables as needed. See Create variables.

  7. Enter the State to be set when the task becomes available.
  8. Click Add. The "Sub process" node is added, and the properties are displayed in the properties panel.
