Example:

Let’s build and execute the “createUserDef” example.             

  • Create a new definition called “createUserDef"
  • Select the definition and click the “design” button
  • Drag and connect the "createUser" step as shown in the above graphic
  • Click the "createUser" step to configure the "Settings" properties. Provide a name for the step. Provide a new username and full name. Provide the email address for the application to send notification emails. 

 

  • Configure the "Advanced" using the following properties: Provide the user's password (encrypted and stored in the database). Provide the variable/global to store the new user's ID upon creation. 

 

  • The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new process instance, and execute. Render the process instance. Click on the process step. The process step should create a new user and store the UserID in the variable.userID as configured. Navigate to Administration - User Management - search for the user to view.
