Defining Case States

For the example process described here, you need so-called process statuses, i.e. statuses that are set automatically or by human interaction when the various process steps are run through and, for example, determine which branch of a gateway is to be run in the process.

You define case states and status descriptions in a separate file (.state).

Note:

You can only create case states for individual Business Processes. For more information about case states, see Managing Case States .
