Assigning Workflows to Business Rules

After creating a folder, adding a workflow to the folder, and configuring the workflow, you can assign the workflow to business rules in the Business Glossary Manager.

Before you assign workflows to business rules:

  • Ensure that you choose Business Glossary Manager as a module and Business Rule while adding the workflow to the folder.
  • Ensure that you assign the workflow to the business rule catalog before creating the business rule.
  • Note that the workflow assigned to a business rule catalog applies to all the business rule under the catalog.

To assign workflows to business rules, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Application Menu > Miscellaneous > Workflow Manager.
  2. On the Workflow Manager page, select a folder.
    All the workflows in the folder appears.
  3. Hover over a workflow and click .

    4. The Assign Workflow page appears.

    The Assign To page re-appears with Assign To field filled.

    7. You can update roles and roles group assigned to the first stage and select Send Email check box to send email notifications about the assignment. These notifications are sent from administrator's email ID. For more information on configuring administrator's email ID, refer to the Configuring Email Settings topic.

  7. Click Save.

    8. The workflow is assigned to the selected catalog in the Business Glossary Manager and it applies to all the business rules under the catalog.
