8. WWW.K2.COM K2 CONFIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS AND PROCESSES > K2 blackpoint applications are made up of one or more K2 processes > It is helpful to consider any K2 process lifecycle in two parts: Start and Run Process Start Process Running / Active InfoPath Integration SharePoint Workflow Integration SharePoint Events Integration K2 Client Events (work for people) K2 Server Events (work for machines)

9. WWW.K2.COM K2 CONFIDENTIAL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND LINES This is an illustration of the simplest possible process allowed with K2 blackpoint. This process has a Start Activity where the process begins. This process has one Activity other than the start activity. This activity is attached to the default Start Activity with a Line. Lines are one possible container for the Rules that drive K2 processes. Except for start, every Activity must include at least one Client Event or Server Event. Start Activity Line Activity Event

11. WWW.K2.COM K2 CONFIDENTIAL RULES Line rule Boolean Line rule Boolean Line rules are based on Boolean logic. This just means that the rule must evaluate to either true or false. In the example below, the line rule will evaluate to true (if expense amount is less than or equal to $5000) OR (if the expense type is “cellphone” AND amount < $50) Line rules that evaluate to true are followed to the next Activity. Line rules that evaluate to false are ignored. Line rules often use data stored in Process Data Fields or Process XML Fields.

12. WWW.K2.COM K2 CONFIDENTIAL SUMMARY > K2 blackpoint is a platform for developing applications that extend workflow functionality in SharePoint. > Applications are deployed to a K2 server at which point anyone with proper permissions may use the application as designed. > Applications are made up of one or more processes. When designing K2 processes it is helpful to consider the process start and process run separately. > Processes contain one or more activities, or stages, that are connected by lines. Lines are one possible container for business rules. > Each activity must contain at least one client event or server event. Client events assign work to people while server events assign work to machines.
