Creating a Process Central Configuration File

The Process Central Web application contains Forms, Tasks, and Reports that you configure for navigation.

A basic configuration file resides in Process Server to provide the initial configuration for navigation filters. You can view the file from the Catalog Resources page of the Process Console.

You can create additional configuration files that customize the navigation filters, on a user by user or group by group basis, and also describe the forms and reports to be deployed.

You can also replace the basic configuration file with your own file in Process Server. All elements from the basic configuration file are required, and by default the basic file is deployed. Your modifications override the basic settings.

To create an Process Central Configuration (.avcconfig) file

Select File > New > Central Configuration
.

Accept the default location and filename for the file or modify them. The default location is the deploy folder, and the filename is based on the project name.

The file opens in an XML editor, and the main sections of the file are commented out. See Editing Tips below for help in editing the file.

Overview of Configuration File Sections:

Section	Configuration filters you can add
Task Role Filters: See Configuring Task Role Filters	Items in the Role drop-down Items in the Show drop-down Folder names in the Tasks list Show or hide folders based on users and groups (allowed roles) Custom column names for tasks Task list filtering
Forms: See Configuring Form Filters Reports: See Configuring Reports Filters	Folder names in the Forms list or Reports list Show or hide folders based on users and groups (allowed roles)
Localization	See Adding Multilingual Support to Process Central
Contributions to Process Central, Forms and Tasks	Create your own scripts, CSS, and other elements. Specify them in the <centralIncludes> section. For details, see Including Your Own Styles, Scripts, and Meta Data for Process Central.

Editing Tips:

Uncomment the section you want to work on, such as the Task Role Filters section.

For readability of your file, delete the sections you do not want to deploy in this file and create separate configuration files for each of the sections.

Forms must be valid XML so be sure to close HTML tags.

Use Content Assist (CTRL + spacebar) to add new elements to the file based on the Process Central configuration schema.

In the Outline view, right-mouse click on an element to add context-sensitive attributes and children

You can view the avoscentral-config.xsd schema in your Process Developer installation at:

<installdir>designer\plugins\com.activee.avoscentral.services_N.N\schema

You can view the base avcconfig file from the Catalog Resources page of the Process Console from which you may want to copy sections to include in your file.
