Activiti KickStart is a webbased tool to quickly create 'adhoc' business processes using a subset of constructs available to the Activiti engine. KickStart provides a simple UI that doesn't require to learn BPMN or any modeling environment, as it works with concepts that are familiar to every business user. However, the processes that are created using KickStart, are fully BPMN 2.0 compliant and can be used as a starting point for more complex BPM endeavours.
Activiti KickStart的是一个基于Web的工具,用Activiti引擎可用的构件(constructs)的子集提供给快速创建“即席(adhoc)”的业务流程。Kickstart提供了不必学习BPMN或者任何建模环境的简单UI,因为它树立了每个业务用户都熟悉的概念。但是,通过KickStart创建的的流程,是和BPMN 2.0兼容,并可作为更为复杂BPM努力的起点。
KickStart integrates perfectly with the Activiti engine. As such, processes created with KickStart are immediataly usable in Activiti Explorer and are visible in Probe.
KickStart能和Activiti引擎完美集成。因此,采用KickStart创建的流程在Activiti Explorer立即可用,并在Probe里面可见。
KickStart serves many business cases, but the following three are probably the most common:
KickStart服务许多商业案例,但以下三个可能是最常见:
- Simple business processes: some processes are just simple by nature, and every company has them. Think about an expense process, a holiday leave process, a hiring process, etc... These kind of processes are probably already being done using paper or e-mail. KickStart allows to model these processes quickly and change them whenever it is needed. As such, KickStart really lowers the threshold to automate these business processes.
- 简单的业务流程:一些流程天然简单,并且每个公司都有。考虑到付费流程,请假流程,雇佣流程,等等…这些流程用书面或者e-mail的方式已经完成。Kickstart运行快速对这些流程建模,每当需要时改变它们。因此,Kickstart真正地降低了门槛,并让这些业务流程自动化。
- Prototyping: before diving into complex BPMN 2.0 modeling and thinking about the corner cases of the proce
