Business process subprocess

Hi , 

 

I want to create a sub process that will check completion of the task at a destined time on a specific day, and if the task is not completed by that particular time, an email to be sent to owner’s manager reminding him/her that the task needs attention, otherwise process termites. 

 

Could you please give me some guidelines for this

Hello,

You can add to your process similar process or create a subprocess that will start with start timer: http://prntscr.com/ob3c8p. Process will read activity and in case it has status "completed" (http://prntscr.com/ob3d1i) it will stop, otherwise it will send an email. 

Best regards,

Angela Reyes, thanks Angela . But can a subprocess can start with start timer 

Also , If I need to send email on every monday at 4 pm how will start timer work in this case? how do I select owners manager in 'To'?

Arunava,

Timer start signal allows to set such conditions for start. As for the owner manager - you can use read data element to read owner of the task and then read owner of the contact.

Arunava,

I use Read data 1 to read activity (http://prntscr.com/ocxsqh), then I read activity contact (http://prntscr.com/ocxsyt) and send an email (http://prntscr.com/ocxt3q).

Angela Reyes,

Thanks Angela , I am requesting you to share the screenshot on timer element as to how to add such conditions for start ?

Dear Arunava, 

Unfortunately, the subprocess can't start with start timer. So you can use Wait for timer intermediate event (http://prntscr.com/odca42). However, it takes only amount of seconds to wait until the process continues as a parameter so you would need to calculate this amount in a script task. You can use a standard C# methods in a script task so you can subtract the DateTime.Now from the needed fire time, convert it to seconds and pass to the parameter in a Wait for timer to have it triggered on a certain time. 

Best regards, 

Dennis
