- | A process definition is the predetermined procedure belonging to a process. The process definition provides the framework for all following [[en:glossar#Prozessinstanz|process instances]] which are getting initiated. The process definition entails any relevant piece of information which is required to execute the process in T!M. This point subsumes also [[en:glossar#Smartforms]], [[en:software:tim:ActionHandlers]], assignments and the diagram of the process itself. | + | A process definition is the predetermined procedure belonging to a process.

===== Smartform ===== | ===== Smartform ===== | ||
- | Smartforms are formulars which can be generated by setting up a [[en:glossar#process definition]]. These formulars may merely be used either as containers for data or be used for process-related decisions, for example, if the SmartformDecisionHandler has been used during the modeling stage. | + | Smartforms are forms which can be generated by setting up a [[en:glossar#process definition]].

===== Process variable ===== | ===== Process variable ===== | ||
- | A process variable is being implemented during the course of a process (or, alternatively, a [[en:glossar#prozessinstanz|process instance]]) and accompanies the process from beginning to the end. A process variable can be changed as often as desired. A process variable can be created and changed by using a [[en:software:tim:Smartform]] or [[en:software:tim:Actionhandler]]. Process variables can be used to determine the course of processes or to compile several pages of information. Please refer to [[en:software:tim:process_variables| this page]] for further information. | + | A process variable is actively implemented during the course of a process (or, alternatively, a [[en:glossar#prozessinstanz|process instance]]) and attends to the process from the beginning to the end. A process variable can be changed as often as desired. A process variable can be created and changed by using a [[en:software:tim:Smartform]] or an [[en:software:tim:ActionHandler]]. Process variables can be used to manage the course of processes or to compile several pages of information. Please refer to [[en:software:tim:process_variables| this page]] for further information. |

===== Node / activity ===== | ===== Node / activity ===== | ||
- | A node is a compilation of tasks. Often, a node will be called an activity in T!M - Task !n Motion which then only entails one task. A node should always be located within a [[en:glossar#swimlane|Swimlane]] to be allotted to an [[en:glossar#assignee|Assignee]]. | + | A node is a compilation of tasks.

===== Script node ===== | ===== Script node ===== | ||
- | Script nodes do not require any further manipulation by the user. If there is no [[en:software:tim:ActionHandler]] allotted to the Scrip node then the element will be skipped without provoking any action. Normally, script nodes will be employed to execute an [[en:software:tim:ActionHandler]] and to provide a clearly arranged overview of the process. | + | Script nodes do not require any further manipulation by the user.
