Configuring Custom Statuses

Although BPM provides runtime statuses to show the execution progress of a process, you can create your own set of custom statuses to represent the different stages of a process based on your business needs.


This section describes how to create custom statuses.

Procedure

  3. In the Name box, enter a name for the group.

  4. In the Key box, enter a unique key used to identify the group.

    Note

    The key cannot be changed once the settings are saved. If you want to change the key, you must delete the status group and create a new status group.

  5. Click Save.
     A new row appears in the list of status groups.
