IM-BIS route¶
In IM-BIS, define the process that joins task and branch etc. in “Route definition” by line.Set process target user for each task and define “Who” can process “Which operation”.Set process (Screen) in each task and branch condition for IM-BIS based on route definition and control task execution authorization and branch conditions in the process execution.

Types of node that can be used in BPM route¶
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
Approve/Process | Node to perform business process by the user (process target user).
Process continues by executing the business process.
|
  |
Synchronous start/Synchronous end | This node shows start/end of synchronous process.
Both synchronous start and synchronous end can be used in combination.
When the process reaches the synchronous start node, the process is continued concurrently on all the nodes set behind the synchronous end (pairing).
|
  |
Branch start/Branch end | This node shows start/end of branch process.
Both branch start and branch end can be used in combination.
When the process reaches the branch start node, the process is continued on the nodes that matches with the condition based on branch condition set in branch start node during flow definition.
|
 |
Comment | It is used in case of displaying comment on route.
Comment itself does not affect the flow of the process.
|
 |
Swimlane | It is used to display border while classifying and arranging the nodes on the route.
Swimlane itself does not affect the flow of the process.
|
Types of node that can be used in workflow route¶
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Process (Approve)
|
This node shows that the specified process target user has set the status of the flow such as Approval/Rejection/Return.
|
 |
Dynamic approval
|
This node shows that process target user specified during the process of the node prior to this node has set the status of the flow such as Approval/Rejection/Return.
It is also possible to delete, restore the dynamic node during the process of the previous node.
|
 |
System
|
This node shows the processing of conditions in a different program outside IM-Workflow.
It is used while linking the Web service with external programs.
|
 |
Confirm
|
This node shows that the specified process target user checks the task.
When the processing of the connected node is complete, the specified check target user can perform the check.
|
| |
Synchronous start/Synchronous end
|
This node shows the start/end of synchronous process.
Both synchronous start and synchronous end can be used in combination.
When the process reaches the synchronous start node, the process is continued concurrently on all the nodes set behind the synchronous end (pairing).
|
| |
Branch start/Branch end
|
This node shows start/end of branch processing.
Both branch start/branch end can be used in combination.
When the process reaches the branch start node, the process is continued on the nodes that matches with the condition based on branch condition set in branch start node during flow definition.
|
 |
Arrange horizontally
|
This node shows that the operator of the node prior to this node can create consecutive dynamic approval nodes within the specified range.
The range of the number of nodes to be placed can be set in flow definition.
If the lower limit of the number of nodes of the range that can be set, is set to 0, node cannot be placed (can be deleted).
|
 |
Arrange vertically
|
This node shows that the operator of the node prior to this node can create concurrent dynamic approval nodes within the specified range.
The range of the number of nodes to be placed can be set in flow definition.
If the lower limit of the number of nodes of range that can be set, is set to 0, node cannot be placed (can be deleted).
|
 |
Template substitution
|
This node shows that the contents of template substitution route specified in this node are expanded in the normal route at the start of the application.
After expanding, this node is displayed in the route definition definedby template start/end icon.
|
 |
Template start
|
This node shows the start of template substitution route.
|
|
Template end
|
This node shows the end of template substitution route.
|
|
Comment
|
It is used in case displaying comment on the route.
Comment itself does not affect the flow of the process.
|
|
Swimlane
|
It is used to display border while classifying and arranging nodes on the route.
Swimlane itself does not affect the flow of the process.
|
Setting method for each node¶
Application/Approval¶
- The settings screen is displayed on the right when the target icon is clicked.
- Click “Search” of the process target user.
- Select the type of target user.
- Add the target user in the search screen matching with the selected type.
Synchronous start/Synchronous end¶
- Place the synchronous target process icon between the synchronous start icon and end icon and link it.
Branch start/Branch end¶
- Place the branch target process icon between branch start icon and end icon and link it.
Comment¶
- After placing on the grid, draw aline by dragging from “
” icon at top right to the target node.
- The settings screen is displayed on the right when the target icon is clicked.
- Enter the contents to be displayed as comment in the comment name.
- The contents entered in comment on the grid are reflected when the locations other than settings screen are clicked.
Swimlane¶
- After placing on grid, adjust the size by dragging any of the four corners.
- The settings screen is displayed on the right when “Swimlane” on the grid is clicked.
- Enter the name to be set in “Swimlane name” of settings screen.
- The contents entered in comment on the grid are reflected when the locations other than settings screen are clicked.
Nodes that require special settings¶
In case of using the following nodes, detail settings are required by the IM-BIS system administrator.Refer “IM-Workflow Administrator Guide” for the details.
- Check
