Process Aspects

A process has the following aspects:

Definition—Process properties dialogs let administrators define processes and establish default values for them during the setup and maintenance of a lifecycle. Each process type has an associated properties dialog.

Execution—Users execute processes by selecting the process from the menu at the state or package context. When the process execution dialog appears, some fields can be populated with default values set by the administrator. Users can accept these defaults or change them before executing the process; however, users cannot change all the properties of the process this way. Some properties are part of the process definition and only the administrator can change them using the process properties dialog.
