Process Templates

A workflow process template has the following characteristics:

• It is defined in WorkPoint Designer.
• It has manual activities, which correspond to Identity Manager approval tasks.
• It 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 Identity Manager 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 Identity Manager User Console.

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

• SingleStepApproval
• TwoStageApprovalProcess
