When we talk about creating a new process for an Order Type, we mean creating a new Order Type
instance with new tasks, and determine how these tasks are to flow in a manner that best achieves a
successful outcome.
In some cases a flow of tasks in an Oder Type can be sequential, one task is executed after another. In other cases there might be decision points that requires the flow to go in a particular direction or another.
Finally, there are cases where if a particular task fails then a retry option might be necessary, forcing the flow to return to an earlier point in the process.
From the OrderTypeForm Actions button bar:
▪ |
Click on the Create new icon option, a popup window form appears |
▪ |
In the Name field, type in this Order Types name |
▪ |
In the Queue field drop-down list, select the required Queue – this will determine which Queue the first Order Task will be assigned to |
▪ |
From the Dm field’s dropdown list, select D or M (Days or Minutes) to determine this Order Types lead-time |
▪ |
Enable the AutoAcceptFirstTask option if the first task requires acceptance straight away, else the Order type will have to be manually selected (INQUEUE) |
▪ |
In the Description field, enter a brief sentence to describe this Order Type |
▪ |
Should a standard naming convention be required for this OrderType then create the template in this OrderNameTemplate field |
▪ |
Click on the Save icon in the lower left of the popup window |
An empty WF Graphical tab is now displayed.
The next step is to create new tasks to add them into this new Order Type.
