Workflow Steps
A workflow consists of multiple workflow steps. A step is a single unit of execution in a workflow. Steps are actions that are executed. Before you define a workflow, create all the workflow steps that you want to use in the workflow. Out-of-the-box workflow steps are configured in the
FASt and are available for use in the synchronous workflows. The
Workflow Steps page lists all the steps that are defined. Use the
Create Workflow page to link the workflow steps so as to create a relationship between all the steps in the workflow. The relationship must follow the business process that is used to process a credit application.
The following table lists the types of workflow steps:
Step Type |
Description |
|---|---|
| Action | Step invokes an activity that is configured in the FICO Application Studio. |
| Condition | Step is used when a workflow needs to branch along different routes based on the value of a decision parameter or user action. |
| Service | Step sends a SOAP request. |
| Stop | The step is used for two purposes: to navigate to the user interface to indicate the end of the workflow or to indicate a point in the workflow where human intervention is required before the workflow can proceed to the next step. For example, the initial rules check whether the application is worth processing and if another application has been already submitted with the same details. If a duplicate is found by the duplicate check service, then manual intervention is necessary to resolve the duplicate issue and continue with the application processing. |
| REST | Step sends a REST API request. |
| DM | Step invokes the Decision Module web service. |
| DAM | Step invokes the Data Acquisition Module web service. |
| AM | Step invokes the Analytic Module web service. |
| Parallel | The steps are executed parallelly instead of sequentially. |
