2.1. Control elements
This chapter deals with the control elements that you can set up for processes. You can use control elements to determine how individual procedures should interact with each other within a work step.
2.1.1. General settings for control elements
Some settings are available for every control element. Table 1 describes these settings. The settings Show and Destination are not available for every control element. However, they are also described here. You can check whether or not the settings are available for a given control element by reading the explanations further below.
Setting | Explanation |
---|---|
Position |
This option is only visible once the control element has been created. |
Display |
Decide whether the procedure should be displayed in the work step. |
Target |
Choose which procedure the control element should jump to. You can choose any of the procedures within the work step. |
2.1.2. Dialogue
Use the Dialogue control element to ask your employees a question. Depending on how they answer, the process will then jump to a specific point.
Learn about the control element in our playful tutorial:
Similar to the control element Split, the process can continue in one of several different ways.
You can individually customise the question that you ask your employees. Not only can you assign a title, but you can also write a message and give your employees different options to choose from. For example, you can use the Dialogue control element to ask your employees which shipping service provider they’re using for the order. The various services will then be displayed as buttons. The user who carries out the process clicks on one of the buttons to select the appropriate service.
Work steps
This control element can be selected for the following work steps:
