General Tab of the Application Workflow Property Editor

Use this tab to modify the general properties of the selected application workflow or sub-workflow.
Element Description
Name Modify the name of the workflow or sub-workflow.
Internal name View or modify the internal name of the workflow or sub-workflow. This field is read-only if the process app has been published. The default value of this field is the workflow name, in upper case. The internal name cannot contain spaces or periods. The maximum number of characters is the same as the number for the Name field.
Time Capture Specify whether the Time Capture feature is enabled or disabled for states and transitions in the workflow. For details about the Time Capture feature, see About Time Capture.

Options for root application workflows are:

  • System

    Select to use the setting applied for the Base Workflow in SBM Application Administrator after deployment.

  • On

    Select to enable the Time Capture feature for all states and transitions in the workflow you are editing. You can then hide or show Time Capture options for states and transitions as needed.

  • Off

    Select to disable the Time Capture feature for all states and transitions in the workflow.

For sub-workflows, settings are inherited but you can override them by explicitly turning the feature on or off for the workflow. If you turn the feature on for a workflow, you can then set other Time Capture options for states and transitions in the workflow. If you turn the feature off for the workflow, it is also turned off for states and transitions in the workflow.
Entry Required With Time Capture options set to "on" for the workflow and "visible" for transitions, you can choose to require users to enter time spent for all transitions in the workflow. This requirement is ignored for automated processes, such as Web services and scripts.
Options are:
  • System

    For the root application workflow, uses the setting applied for the Base Workflow in SBM Application Administrator after deployment.

  • Inherited

    For sub-workflows, uses the setting inherited from the parent workflow.

  • Yes
