Introduction to BPM addon

Introduction

The BPM addon allows Soffid administrators to generate and maintain their own workflows directly from the Soffid Console itself.

What is a workflow?

Soffid has implemented a BPM engine that allows Soffid to manage workflows.

Workflows can facilitate, streamline, control, and audit multiple business processes.

There are many examples of possible workflows.

• User registration from HR
  
• Allow users to update certain data
  
• Request privileged accounts
  
• Request roles for oneself
  
• Allow managers to request a large number of permissions
  
• Confirm that a manual process is executed and attach evidence
  
• Request company resources
  
• Perform scheduled user logouts

Many Soffid screens are involved in the BPM module. We list the most important ones below.

• BPM editor : where to create or modify workflows
• Business process definition : where workflows are published
• Configure Workflow engine : where the workflow engine is configured
• My tasks : pending workflows where the user has to perform an action in order to continue their workflow.
• My requests : The workflows that the user can initiate are listed here.

• My requests > Query request status : to search for all processes started by oneself
  

• Process Search : to search for all processes

• Metadata : to add attributes to display in the search tables
• Scheduled jobs : shows active workflows pending asynchronous tasks
