Restore Process Instance Action Usage Scenario

Step 1: Starting the Process

The project manager starts the “Project Kickoff” workflow, which follows these steps:

  • Planning Stage – Project plan is created.
  • Resource Assignment – Resources are allocated.
  • Approval Process – Sent for managerial approval.
  • Initial Evaluation – The project is reviewed.

During the Resource Assignment step, an issue arises, and the process is terminated.

Step 2: Restoring the Terminated Process

After the resource issue is resolved, the manager resumes the process:

  • The Process Id is retrieved (e.g., "process_45678").
  • The Restore Process Instance action is triggered, resuming the process from the resource assignment step.
  • Opening Mode: The process screen opens as a modal, immediately drawing the manager's attention.

Step 3: Continuing the Process from the Last Step

At the resource assignment step, the manager performs the following actions:

  • Resource Status Update: Resources are updated and an alert message is displayed.
  • Dynamic Process Selection: The manager’s decisions are applied dynamically.
  • Screen Display: The modal window shows the current resource status and available actions.

Step 4: Completing the Process and Reporting

  • The resource assignment is completed successfully and the process continues with the planning step.
  • Reporting: Managers generate reports regarding the issue and the continuation of the process.
