Make a locally created user activity global

If you are using a user activity in a subprocess that you want to use again in another workflow, you can add it to the global User Activities resources list.

Before you begin

Note: A user activity must be self-contained for it to work as a global activity; therefore, you must remove any reference to external data.
A resource must already have been added in order to select it from this list. When user activities are created in the resource list, they are available to be added to a subprocess or process step and configured.

Procedure

  1. In the Navigator, click Workflow.
  2. In the Folders list, select a resource type, such as Workflows, Subprocesses, Schedules, User Activities, Categories, Completion Codes, Faults, or Filters.
  3. In the resource type list, select a resource.
  4. In the Displays panel, click Workflow Management > Workflow Editor.
  5. Click the Workflow Editor tab.
  6. Double-click the subprocess you want to add the user activity to.
  7. Drag the user activity to the appropriate drop point within the subprocess.
  8. Configure the user activity.
  9. In the configuration panel, click Make Global.
    The Make Global dialog box appears.
  10. Make the necessary changes, and then click OK.
