Process Elements Reference

This chapter provides detailed explanations for the usage and configuration of all process elements, for both business processes and user dialog logic.

Axon Ivy provides a lot of useful process elements that can be used to define processes. These elements reside in the palette on the right edge of the Process editor. You can drag and drop the elements on the editor to use them in a specific process flow. You then can connect two elements by clicking on the source element, let the moused button pressed down, move the mouse cursor to the target element and finally release the mouse button. Reconnecting or removal is only possible by using the corresponding entries in the popup menu.

Every process element can be configured with its inscription view. Open this view by double-clicking on the element, use the popup-menu or press the i-key whenever the element is selected. The inscription view is divided into multiple sections and the order of the sections indicates the sequence of processing. For example in the figure below, the Output mapping is performed before the code in the second section is executed.
