Workflow Configuration
Purpose
The workflow config plugin enables a precise configuration for a specific process, like defining the workflow type (is it a BPMN-based process or an Ad-hoc task), add workflow details, defining the process starting modal, defining an execution strategy within the OMN system and assigning an icon for the toolbar button.
Here, the configuration uses the workflow attributes either directly from the attribute definition or by using a detail view within the configuration. The visibility and editability of the attributes can be influenced at the start of the process and after the process has been executed.
