While editing a process, you can use the process element Properties view to edit all details for a single element in the process. If you click in any row in a process display, you will see the full details of the process element in the row in the Properties view.
If the Properties view is not open, right-click any element in a process and click Show Properties View.
The Properties view is the editor for activities, task descriptors, roles descriptors, and work product descriptors. The information for a descriptor is similar to the corresponding method element editor, but it also has information related to the element in the process. The process information is also displayed in the corresponding row in the process display.
General tab:
The Name and Presentation name default to the corresponding names in the base method element. These names can be changed in a descriptor.
The following attributes are used to specify certain aspects of the element in the process and can be set for all types of process elements:
The following elements can be set for task descriptors and activities:
Dependency field: You can add one or more dependencies for a task or activity. Click Add and enter the index number for the task or activity on which the current element is dependent. The dependency (type) defaults to Finish-to-Start. If you want to set another dependency type, click Edit and select the required dependency type in the dependency drop-down box. You can enter a different index number in the Edit window. You can also remove a dependency by selecting the dependency and clicking Remove.
The base method element for the descriptor is displayed on the page. You can select a different element by clicking Link Method Element and selecting the required element.
Documentation tab:
The Documentation tab contains descriptive attributes for the descriptor or activity.
Rollup tabs:
The Properties view for an activity includes rollup tabs that provide lists of tasks, roles, or work products "rolled up," or summarized, for the activity.
Association tabs:
The remaining tabs are used to add or remove associations between the activity or descriptor to method elements.
