Queries

Queries are a way of identifying an entity within the organization model to use as a suitable participant for a task in a business process.

Note: The use of queries is not currently supported in the Organization Model.

You can specify queries either:

  • As strings of text. These are not checked or validated within Organization Modeler. A business analyst might enter the query as free text, which a solution designer can implement when the analysis is implemented as a process.
  • As Resource Query Language (RQL). This is a scripting language which you can use to write queries specifying which entity within the organization model should be selected for work allocation. See Resource Query Language.
    Note: You should consider using Dynamic Organization Participants as the alternative to RQL as it is more efficient in most situations. See Dynamic Organization Participants
