Version: GeneXus 18

GeneXus BPM Suite course

Organizational Units

Upon the defined branches of a company, this video shows how to make processes and tasks corresponding to one branch unavailable to all other branches.

Total length of videos: 4h

In this video you will be able to see how Organizational Units are created that allow defining groups within an organization, for example branches, departments, etc. Once these units are created, the users of the organization are assigned to them and each process will inherit the organizational unit of the user that starts it. In this way, an employee from one branch will not be able to execute a task from another branch.

Lessons

Presentation

With these videos, you will learn how to model business processes using GeneXus Business Process Modeler (GXBPM).
Then, using GeneXus, you will associate the elements of the model to GeneXus objects to turn the model into a functional application.
Lastly, you will run the application and monitor its operation with the GXflow client.

It is recommended that you replicate the examples shown in the videos. For the Business process modeling chapter, you can use GXBPM which can be downloaded from here. For the following stages of the course, you will have to install GeneXus. It can be downloaded from here. To work with users and roles, you will need a full version. The GXflow client will be automatically installed whn you install GeneXus.

In addition to replicating the examples, you also have available a document with practical exercises. This document will allow you to expand your knowledge by experimenting with other exercises.

Finally, in the page of each video, you will find a document with the corresponding script.
We hope you make the most of this training!
