Edit a Custom Process Mapping

CA GovernanceMinder implements each task in a workflow by invoking a Workpoint process. You can create custom Workpoint processes that implement nonstandard behaviors for one or more types of tasks in a workflow.

The set of possible tasks in each business workflow dictate a set of Workpoint processes that must be defined for the workflow. One process handles each type of task.

After you create custom Workpoint processes, use the following procedure to map a set of custom processes to each workflow.

When you apply a custom mapping to a workflow, or define it as a system default, the custom processes you specify are invoked to implement the process.

To edit a custom process mapping

1. In the CA GovernanceMinder portal, go to Administration, Workflow Settings, Workflow Process Mapping.

   The Workflow Process Mapping screen appears. The table lists previously defined custom process mappings.

2. Do one of the following:
   • Click Edit beside a process mapping to modify it.
   • Modify a copy of an existing mapping, as follows:
     1. Click Copy beside a process mapping.
     2. Enter a new, unique name for the copy and click OK.

        The copy appears in the table.

     3. Click Edit beside the copy.

   The Edit Process Mappings screen appears. A table lists the following information for all possible tasks of the workflow:

   Type

   Specifies the type of task that is mapped in each row of the table. The values in this column correlate to the value of the Implements parameter in Workpoint processes for the task.

   Process Reference

   Specifies the Workpoint process that is mapped to the task. CA GovernanceMinder invokes this process to implement the task. The drop-down list displays only Workpoint processes in the CA GovernanceMinder database whose Implements parameter value matches the task type.

   The screen displays the existing custom mapping of tasks to Workpoint processes.

3. Click the Process Reference drop-down list beside a task, and select the custom process you defined.

   The task is mapped to the custom process. Workflows that use this mapping invoke the custom process to implement the task.

   Repeat this step to map custom processes for any or all tasks in the workflow.

4. Click Save

   Changes are saved to the process mapping. You can apply this mapping to a business workflow of the referenced type to implement modified behaviors.
