Guidelines to Build PM Blocks

Follow these guidelines when building PM Blocks.

Specify the PM Block's Label as a Process Model Object

When building the configuration settings for a PM Block, in the Name setting, specify the label for that PM Block when it is placed into a Process model. This label is different than the name of the PM Block as it displays in the PM Blocks page.

Every PM Block Must Have One Start-Type Event

Every PM Block must have one of the following Start-type events in its Process model:

When building the configuration settings for a PM Block, in the Start Event Drop Down setting, select the Start-type event that triggers that PM Block. Without this setting configured, the PM Block never triggers regardless of conditions in that Request. Therefore, this is a required configuration.

Only one Start-type event may be used in the Process model for a PM Block.
