Assign Vocabularies that validate Request data complies with a specific JSON schema. This is often mandatory for many types of business sectors including banking and healthcare. Ensure the quality and compliance of Request data. For example, during a Loan Application process, ensure that personal information has been included in the Request to that moment in that in-progress Request. The Vocabularies package must be installed to make this configuration.
Use a Vocabulary on an Intermediate Message Catch Event element to validate Request data complies with the Vocabulary's JSON schema. See What is a Vocabulary? for more information.
Each moment ProcessMaker evaluates workflow routing for an in-progress Request, ProcessMaker Platform also evaluates the Request data's conformity to the Vocabularies applied to the Process and/or a specific BPMN 2.0 element in the Process model. The Request's JSON data model must conform to the ProcessMaker Vocabulary's JSON schema.
During an in-progress Request, if ProcessMaker Platform evaluates that the Request data no longer complies with all Vocabularies to that moment, the Request status changes from In Progress to Error. The error displays in the Request summary. Vocabularies are cumulative in an in-progress Request: as the Request progresses, if Request data does not conform with any Vocabulary's JSON schema to that moment in the Request, the Request errors.
If no Vocabularies are assigned, ProcessMaker Platform does not validate Request data complies with a specific JSON schema prior to continuing workflow for that Request.
One or more Vocabularies must be created to your ProcessMaker Platform instance before assigning a Vocabulary. See Create a New Vocabulary. Multiple Vocabularies can be assigned to a Start Event element.
The Vocabularies package must be installed to assign which Vocabularies validate Request data at an Intermediate Message Catch Event element. Use the Vocabularies package to maintain uniform JSON schemas across all assets in your organization. These assets include Processes, Screens, and Scripts.
A Vocabulary is a JSON schema. The JSON schema describes the data objects, types, and structure that you want in both a machine and human readable format. Apply one or more Vocabularies to your Processes and/or specific BPMN 2.0 elements in your Process models to ensure the JSON data model in Request data complies with the data structure outlined in the JSON schema that you need to meet regulatory specifications or ensure Request data contains required information.
Follow these steps to assign Vocabularies that validate Request data from an Intermediate Message Catch Event element:
Select the Intermediate Message Catch Event element from the Process model in which to assign Vocabularies that validate Request data prior to when this element completes. Panels to configure this element display.
Expand the Vocabularies panel if it is not presently expanded. The Assigned setting displays.
From the Select Vocabulary drop-down menu, select a Vocabulary from which to validate Request data complies with its JSON schema.
If no Vocabularies are configured in your ProcessMaker Platform instance, then the following message displays: List is empty. Create at least one Vocabulary. See Create a New Vocabulary.
Click Save.
Repeat Steps 3 through 6 as necessary for each Vocabulary required to validate Request data complies with its JSON schema.
After one or more Vocabularies are assigned to an Intermediate Message Catch Event element, the Vocabulary icon displays above that element.
Process Modeler automatically assigns a unique value to each Process node added to a Process model. However, a node's identifier value can be changed if it is unique to all other nodes in the Process model, including the Process model's identifier value.
