A process instance is always assigned to a single process type. If several typification rules apply to a process instance, the priority integer attribute is used to specify which process type the process instance is ultimately assigned to. A rule with priority 0 has the highest priority and is prioritized by the typifier.
If, for example, three typification rules with the priorities 2, 3 and 6 apply to the process instance, it is typified with a priority of 2 in line with the typification rule. The typification rules 3 and 6 are ignored for this process instance. The typifier first of all checks whether a typification rule with priority 0 applies to the process instance to be typified. If not, a rule checks whether the next priority level applies and so on.
As soon as a rule applies, processing of the typification rules is ended and the process instance is assigned to the corresponding process type.
You specify the prioritization of typification rules in the Processes CTK module using the button Prioritize typification rules on the selected typification rule.
