In Quaestor the process manager assists with the selection of a data object in the dataset in combination with a task (scenario or TopGoal).
The lay out of the Process Manager will depend on the way the knowledge base has been developed. When nothing is available in the dataset, only Tasks are shown. And whether there are tasks will depend on:
- The existance or tasks in the "Top Goals/Undified" class of Quaestor;
- The user level: End users can only start 1 scenario, macro's and existing solutions, other user levels will see all available tasks;
When the dataset has data and Tasks are available in the class "Top Goals/Undified" of the Knowledge Browser, the following window is shown:
Process manager
The functionality of the Process manager (the four green and red fields in the figure below) can be described as follows:
Again, in the process manager datasets (field 1) and possible tasks and solutions (field 2) are shown. In field 3 information about the selecteed dataset is shown and in field 4 information about the selected task or solution is shown.
The standard approach is to select a data object in the dataset on the left in combination with a task on the right. Quaestor will provide feedback if a combination of data and task is not possible. Furthermore, it might be required for a task to have a data object selected. In that case Quaestor will ask whether to create a new empty data object. After selecting data and task, button 3 will change it's name to the task you want to perform. After pressing the button, the dialog in the Workbase will start. The Workbase buttons will further guide through the process.
To go back to the Workbase without any action press button 4.
For manipulations to your data, you can use button 1 and 2. First select your data in field 1, and push button 1 to make a copy and 2 to modify the data in the data object, in this case you will return to the Workbase inside the data object.
