There are a growing number of possible Steps that can be included in a business process. Here are the major ones that are currently implemented:


Start

This step is required as the first step to identify where a workflow begins.

Prerequisites: None

Possible Step Results: Start


Info

Simple display of a message requiring the user to click “OK” or “Continue” to acknowledge and progress. The message can be custom designed by the organization. For example, a student who does not meet a minimum requirement can be informed of the opportunity to appeal, or all applicants for a position can be informed at the end of the application process when and how they should expect to hear the results of the selection process.

Prerequisites: Define a Form using HTML Content element type (having no input fields)

Possible Step Results: Done


Student Eligibility Check

Checks academic and conduct eligibility for the user against a defined standard (such as a minimum GPA requirement for a specific position) and against the requirements defined in TAMU Student Rule 41.2 if the workflow is in relation to a position tagged as a Student Officer position. This step does not disclose any details from student records. It cannot be used in a workflow to disclose a person’s eligibility to someone other than that person. It can be used to inform that person if they meet the minimum requirements for the process they are pursuing such as membership or to disallow continuing if the standard is not met.

Prerequisites: Specify the requirements for a Position including whether or not the position is a Student Officer as defined by Student Rule 41.2.
