Once the BPM map is complete and approved by whoever is setting its process, the developer must map all the elements on the graphic to properties from the entity, C# business object, etc., so the BPM can be deployed to the application. This mapping takes place in the Configure tab in the Properties tab in the Map tab, in the following sections:
- Form: This maps the properties required for user tasks. You need to enter the form(s) the task will use on enter and re-enter, and the variables it sets upon the user clicking the buttons on the form(s).
- Rule: This maps the properties required for business rule tasks. You need to enter the business object, rule, initialize method, etc.
- Service Task: This maps the properties required for service tasks. The properties are similar to those for rules. You just enter the business object method instead of the XML entity rule.
- Gateway Expression: For every gateway path, you need to configure what makes the process route to that path. Usually it will be the result of some variable being "yes" or "true" or some other system constant.
- Call Activity: If your map includes a call activity, you must specify which activity you are calling.
