ActiveBPEL® Designer User’s Guide

Adding Tasks and Bookmarks to the Process

You can add a bookmark to a graphical element on the Process Editor canvas and create a link to easily jump back to that spot in the process. You can also add a task, which is similar to a bookmark. To add a task, highlight a graphical element and create a link to easily jump back to it.

Note: A Task is not related to the Human Interactions or People activity Task element for a BPEL for People activity.

The difference between a task and bookmark is in the intent of the link. A task usually indicates something that needs to be done at that spot as opposed to just an easy link back to it. A task also has a priority to let you easily sort tasks by importance.

To add a task or bookmark to a graphical element, select the element and right-click. Select Add Bookmark or Add Task. Name the task or bookmark.

The following illustration shows an example of a graphical element with a task or bookmark added.
