Element Type Definition


Element Type Name ACTIVITY_DEFINITION
Short Name ACT
View NameCI_ACTIVITY_DEFINITIONS
Description An activity describes something that is done in the business, or in
the system. It can be performed in different contexts (for example
by different organization units), and so an activity is described
independently of the context in which it may be performed.
An activity may be constrained by a "pre" condition and/or a "post"
condition. These are rules that must evaluate to true in order for
the activity to start and/or finish. If defined, these are applicable
in all contexts in which that activity is used
