Manual:Extension/Workflows/Editor

In addition to the built-in workflows, users can create their own workflows in the wiki. The functionality of the workflows is based on the currently implemented workflow elements. Note that not all elements of the BPMN standard are supported in the Workflows extension at this time.

Steps

To create a workflow:

1. Create a page with the extension .bpmn Ideally, this page is created in the MediaWiki namespace to limit edit-permissions to wiki admins.
2. Edit the page in Edit diagram mode or click on the pencil icon.
   

   Edit menu
3. Add a start event, activities, gateways (optional) and an end event. The following BPMN-Elements are supported:
   • Events: start and end event
   • Gateways: currently only parallel gateways are possible
   • Activities: BlueSpice has its own set of activities. See the full list.
   • In addition, you can bind the workflow to a particular page revision. (This is necessary for approval workflows, for example).
4. Save the BPMN diagram.
5. Add a workflow trigger.
