Implementing Scripts

Script Type	Description	Location
Script task	Scripts performed individually as part of a process flow.	In the Properties view for the task, select the General tab. Enter the script itself in the Describe Task Script: area.
Conditional Flow	Scripts to define the conditions that determine whether a conditional sequence flow is followed. At runtime, this causes the Sequence Flow to be followed only if the condition is met.	In the Properties view for the conditional flow, select the General tab. Enter the script in the Describe Sequence Flow Condition area.
Loop	Scripts associated with a processing loop in the Properties view for the task to which a loop has been applied.	On the General tab of the Properties view for the task, select either Standard Loop or Multiinstance Loop. From the Loop tab, select JavaScript from the Script Defined As: field and enter the script itself in the area provided.
Events	Scripts added to start events or catch intermediate events in the Properties view. You can also add scripts to events that have a timer defined.	In the Properties view for the start event or catch intermediate event, select the General tab. Enter the script itself in the Scripts tab.
Process Manager Scripts	Scripts that are run in the context of the background execution of the process (as opposed to the processing of individual user task work items). Initiate - executes when the task/event activity is instantiated. Complete - executes when the task/event activity is completed. Timeout - executes when the task/event activity times out. Cancel - executes when the task/event activity is canceled.	In the Properties view for the task, select the Scripts tab. Select from Process Manager Scripts to display the different sets of scripts available.
Work Manager scripts	Scripts that are run in the context of an individual work item. These scripts can also refer to entities in the organization model. Schedule - When the work item is scheduled from a user task, after all standard validations have run but before the task completion message is returned, the Schedule script executes. Reschedule - Executes when a work item is updated via a non-canceling signal event on task boundary. Open - When a user opens a work item, the Open script executes. If necessary this script can force a cancellation of the work item open and keep the work item in the work list. Close - When a user closes a work item in a work list (i.e. saves the state of the work item rather than completing it), the Close script executes. Submit - When the work item is submitted, after all standard validations have run but before the task completion message is returned, the Submit script executes. If necessary this script can force a cancellation of the work item submit and keep the work item open and with the end user.	In the Properties view for the task, select the Scripts tab. Select from Work Manager Scripts to display the different sets of scripts available.

Script task

Scripts performed individually as part of a process flow.

In the Properties view for the task, select the General tab. Enter the script itself in the Describe Task Script: area.

Conditional Flow

Scripts to define the conditions that determine whether a conditional sequence flow is followed. At runtime, this causes the Sequence Flow to be followed only if the condition is met.

In the Properties view for the conditional flow, select the General tab. Enter the script in the Describe Sequence Flow Condition area.

Loop

Scripts associated with a processing loop in the Properties view for the task to which a loop has been applied.

On the General tab of the Properties view for the task, select either Standard Loop or Multiinstance Loop. From the Loop tab, select JavaScript from the Script Defined As: field and enter the script itself in the area provided.

Events

Scripts added to start events or catch intermediate events in the Properties view. You can also add scripts to events that have a timer defined.

In the Properties view for the start event or catch intermediate event, select the General tab. Enter the script itself in the Scripts tab.

Process Manager Scripts

Scripts that are run in the context of the background execution of the process (as opposed to the processing of individual user task work items).

Initiate - executes when the task/event activity is instantiated.
Complete - executes when the task/event activity is completed.
Timeout - executes when the task/event activity times out.
Cancel - executes when the task/event activity is canceled.

In the Properties view for the task, select the Scripts tab. Select from Process Manager Scripts to display the different sets of scripts available.

Work Manager scripts

Scripts that are run in the context of an individual work item. These scripts can also refer to entities in the organization model.

Schedule - When the work item is scheduled from a user task, after all standard validations have run but before the task completion message is returned, the Schedule script executes.
Reschedule - Executes when a work item is updated via a non-canceling signal event on task boundary.
Open - When a user opens a work item, the Open script executes. If necessary this script can force a cancellation of the work item open and keep the work item in the work list.
Close - When a user closes a work item in a work list (i.e. saves the state of the work item rather than completing it), the Close script executes.
Submit - When the work item is submitted, after all standard validations have run but before the task completion message is returned, the Submit script executes. If necessary this script can force a cancellation of the work item submit and keep the work item open and with the end user.

In the Properties view for the task, select the Scripts tab. Select from Work Manager Scripts to display the different sets of scripts available.
