Types of Process Templates

A workflow process template has the following characteristics:

• Defined in WorkPoint Designer.
• Has manual activities, which correspond to CA IdentityMinder approval tasks.
• Includes special attributes which contain information to identify participants (also called approvers).

Workflow process templates include no information for selecting specific participants. This is provided by CA IdentityMinder after a user configures a workflow and its participant resolvers. This information is mapped to an event for event-level workflow control, and to a task for task-level workflow control.

When using the template method, all workflow and participant configuration is done within the User Console.

There are three process templates for use with the template method:

• SingleStepApprovalProcess
• TwoStageApprovalProcess
• EscalationApprovalProcess
