Changing an Activity, Event, or Gateway Type
As you develop a process model on the process editor canvas, you might find that a task activity, event, or gateway you have added to the process is not the correct type. You can always delete the task activity, event, or gateway and add the desired type in its place, but Designer enables you to change the task activity, event, or gateway type from within the task activity, event, or gateway itself.
Note:
There are limitations to the changes you can make from within an boundary intermediate event. For example, a non-interrupting intermediate boundary error event is not supported on a service task activity type. Therefore, the non-interrupting intermediate boundary error event is not present on the list of available choices in the right-click menu, nor can you configure the interrupting behavior on the
General page of the Properties view. For more information, see
Available Change Type Selections.
To change a task activity, event, or gateway type
1. Locate the task activity, event, or gateway on the canvas and do one of the following:
Right-click the activity, event, or gateway and click
Change [Task, Event, or Gateway] Type. Click the desired task, event, or gateway type in the resulting selection menu(s).
Click the task activity, event, or gateway. On the
General page of the Properties view, select the desired task or event in the
Type list. Select the
Allow [boundary event type] to interrupt step check box if you want interrupting behavior (not available for all boundary event types).
2. Save the process model.
