o Item Type.
 Is a name/identifier of a workflow business process.
 There is rule as follows.
1. Internal name /Item Type Name should be less than or equal to 8 Characters.
2. Item type name must be in Capital letters.
3. Do not include colons ”:” or leading/trailing spaces in your internal name.

o Item Attribute.
 It is nothing but a global variable that can be accessed/ referenced by any activity
within the itemtype.
 We have separate API for initializing and getting values of the attribute during
workflow run.
 To Set Values.
 WF_ENGINE.SetItemAttrText, WF_ENGINE.SetItemAttrNumber,
WF_ENGINE.SetItemAttrDate
 To get Values.
 WF_ENGINE.GetItemAttrText, WF_ENGINE.GetItemAttrNumber,
WF_ENGINE.GetItemAttrDate

o Process.
 Here we use all the workflow builder components and connect them as per
business requirement.
 It is similar to PL/SQL block ( begin end). Here we use start and end.
 Every process has one start and multiple ends.

o Notification and Message activity.


 Notification activity is responsible for only sending message.
 Message, It contains the content to send.
 There is rule as follows below.
1. Every notification must be associated with performer ie : user /Role.
2. Every notification must be associated with one message.

o Function.
 A function activity represents a PL/SQL stored procedure that the workflow
engine executes automatically.

o Event activity.
 It is similar to PL/SQL trigger.
 Whenever the change in data in database, we can perform this to notification.

o Lookup type and Lookup code.


 A lookup type has one or more values called lookup codes associated with it.
 A lookup type is a list of values that can be referenced by a message, or by a
notification, attribute.
 When a notification associated with a lookup value , it will reflect as Button when
performer views that notification.
 Use to change the direction or action based on the respond.
 If you want to use lookup codes in notification , we should attach your lookup
type to notification as well as message.
 If you want to use lookup codes in atrribute we must attach lookuptype to
attribute.
