Assigning Workflows to Business Policies

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

Before you assign workflows to business policies:

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

To assign workflows to business policies, 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 .

The Assign Workflow page appears.


4. Click New Assignment.

The Assign To page appears.


5. In the Assign To field, click .

The Assign Object page appears.



6. Click a catalog and then click Select.
   The Assign To page re-appears with Assign To field filled.



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.

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

Once a workflow is assigned successfully to a business policy in business glossary manager, users who are part of the assigned roles will get work queue notifications. For more information on workflow execution via work queue notifications, refer to the Executing Workflows for Business Policies via the Workflow Queue topic.
