Mapping Processes to Events

You create and modify workflow processes in WorkPoint Designer. When you create a workflow process for Identity Management, you do so with a particular Identity Management task in mind. The execution of this task is controlled by the workflow process.

In addition to creating the workflow process, you must also do the following:

• Identify the event that is generated by the Identity Management task, described in Admin Tasks and Events. You can create a workflow process for any Identity Management task that generates an event.
• Map the workflow process to an event by doing one of the following:
  • Assign a Workflow Process to an Event Globally.

    With this global mapping, the workflow process occurs whenever the event is generated in the environment, regardless of the task that generates the event.

  • Assign a Workflow Process to an Event Generated by a Specific Task.

    With this task-specific mapping, the workflow process occurs only when the specified task generates the event.

  Note: If you map an event to a workflow process both globally and to a specific task, the workflow process associated with the specific task takes precedence.

• Specify a participant resolver for the workflow activity in the workflow process.
• Associate a workflow activity with an approval task.
