Working with Process Components

You can define each step of a process flow as a rule, sub-process, or component. A component specifies an object, which contains the code that executes the step's functionality. Components provide standard building blocks for process flows utilized with Aptify. Aptify provides a set of sample components with the standard application that an organization to use to create process flow steps. (See About the Delivered Process Components for a list of delivered components.) Also, developers can create new components in Visual Studio .NET as necessary.

Process Components records in Aptify define the Object Repository location of the object as well as the data necessary to successfully execute its function.
