jBPM Console NG User Guide

Version 6.0.0.CR5


This chapter introduces the modules in charge of the BPM functionality inside the Kie Workbench. These modules were grouped under the name of JBPM Console NG and they can be found here: http://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm-console-ng . Inside the GitHub repository will also find a standalone version of these modules integrated with some authoring tools, like for example the Process Designer and the Form Designer, as well as some common tooling to explore the business repositories. If you are interested in a full integrated environment that provides Form Modeling, Data Modeling, Rules Authoring, etc, you should take a look at Kie Workbench which provides all the functionality discrived in these docs plus all the mentioned above.

This chapter describes the screens related with the creation and management of process definitions and process instances.

Once you have modelled and configured all the techncial details to run a process definition your process definition will appear in the Process Definitions List. Once you have the process in the Process Definition List, you can start new instances of it. The following sections describes the features provided by each of these screens. You can find these screens under the Process Management Menu, in the jBPM Console NG or in Kie Workbench.

You can find the source code for this module here: https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm-console-ng/tree/master/jbpm-console-ng-process-runtime

The process definition section is composed by two main screens: the Process Definition Lists and the Process Definition Details.

This chapter introduces the Task Management screens and the its integration with the Form Modeller component to allow users to work on their assigned tasks. You can find the source code of these screens here: https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm-console-ng/tree/master/jbpm-console-ng-human-tasks

Every user with access to the platform will have access to its personal task list where tasks assigned to him/her will be displayed. Each user will be able to create its own personal tasks or work on tasks that were create as a result of a business process execution.

You can access to the Task List under the Work main menu:

Pending tasks can be displayed using different methafors depending on what the user is interested on. We are currently providing two different views explained in the sections below: Grid and Calendar View.
