Click the icon to display the Edit Translatable Strings dialog. Select a key from the dropdown list or click the plus sign + to create one.

Using Approval Management 26-19 Use the following procedure to define attribute-label mappings:

1. Click the Add icon to display the Add Mapped Attribute dialog, which is shown

in Figure 26–13 . Figure 26–13 Add Mapped Attribute Dialog

2. Perform one of these options:

■ From the dropdown list, select the application server that contains the protected-attribute labels. ■ Click the Add icon to create a connection. ■ Click the Edit icon to edit an existing connection. The Attribute dropdown list populates with the available attribute labels from the specified server.

3. From the dropdown list, select an attribute.

4. At the Value field, specify a value using one of these options:

■ Enter an XPath expression that determines the value to be stored in the attribute. ■ Click the icon to create a value in the Expression Builder. ■ Leave the field blank to allow the value to be determined at run time. Usually, this XPath expression selects a value from the tasks’s payload, but you can specify any valid expression that evaluates to a simple type, such as a string, a date, or a number. Be aware that specifying an XPath expression is not mandatory. You may prefer to set the value of the underlying flexfield-attribute value yourself. For example, you can add a custom assign activity to the BPEL process that initiates the task, or manipulate the Task object through the workflow service APIs.

5. Enter a description. This is optional.

6. Click OK.

Note: The list does not include any labels for flexfield attributes to which this task component is being mapped. 26-20 Modeling and Implementation Guide for Oracle Business Process Management

26.3.6 Specifying Routing and Approval Policies

Specifying routing and approval policies includes the following tasks: ■ Modeling and configuring stages ■ Modeling task participants ■ Modeling and configuring list builders ■ Defining business rules ■ Using business rules to specify list builders ■ Using assignment-context information ■ Aggregating task approvals

26.3.6.1 How to Model and Configure Stages

Based on functional needs, you can add and arrange multiple stages in a structure that can be a combination of sequential and parallel stages. This section describes how to create sequential and parallel stages. Use the following procedure to create a stage:

1. In the Assignment and Routing section of the Human Task Editor, select a stage.

2. Click the Add icon, and then select either Sequential stage or Parallel stage from

the dropdown list, as shown in Figure 26–14 . Figure 26–14 Create Stage If you chose to create a sequential stage, the Assignment and Routing section looks like Figure 26–15 .
