Description

Activity

The name within BPMN for a unit of action. The equivalent in Blueriq is a Process task.

Ad-hoc node

A node which does not have an incoming sequence flow to open the task. These node can have an expression as precondition to make the node available. It is possible to flow from an adhoc node.

Aggregate

A collection of information on one subject.

BAM

BAM describes the processes and technologies that provide real-time situation awareness, as well as access to and analysis of critical business performance indicators, based on event-driven sources of data.

Case

Is a specific instance of a Process.

Catching

Catching is a term in BPMN to describe the direction of an event. Catching means that a event is received by an event node.

Complex event handling

Using different types of events to influence the behavior of processes. The event types supported in the Blueriq process engine are: Message, Timer and Conditional.

Connection

A connection specifies where a file stored. It consists of a name which can be used in the model. The connection is set in a property file stating whether it is in memory or on the file system (and at which path).

Dashboard

A page which is used to display an overview of information on one entity, for example: a customer, a patient, a case, etc.

End node

A node which is used to end a process or a flow.

Event

An event is a process modeling element, representing something that “happens” during the course of a process. Events affect the flow of the process.

Message

A set of data.

MessageBus

A software solution which is used to transport messages from a sender to one or more receivers.

Message event

A process modeling element which can carry data and can influence the behavior of processes. Within the Blueriq platform the Message event is used in the process module.

Node

An element which can be used for modelling in the Blueriq platform

PCA

Process Control Application: An implementation module which is used to create a dashboard. This module contains the functionality to steer the behavior of the process engine. The current term for the PCA is Dashboard.

Process control flow

The flow which is used to start processes, and tasks. The process control flow can be found in the Dashboard/PCA.

Portal

Within the Blueriq the term Dashboard is used instead of portal.

Portlet

Portlets are pluggable software components that are managed and displayed in a web portal. Within Blueriq the term widget is preferred for this functionality.

Prioritisation

The possibility to influence the sequence of tasks in a task list

Process

Sequence of interdependent and linked procedures which, at every stage, consume one or more resources (employee time, energy, machines, money) to convert inputs (data, material, parts, etc.) into outputs. These outputs then serve as inputs for the next stage until a known goal or end result is reached.

Process mining

Process mining is a process management technique that allows for the analysis of business processes based on event logs

Reporting

Human readable reports from various datasources

Roles

An aspect of a user which has a specific set of qualities connected to it.

Routing

Directing a task to a user or a user group which is best suited to execute a task.

Start node

A node which is used to start a flow or a process.

Task

The smallest identifiable and essential piece of a job that serves as a unit of work.

Throwing

Throwing is a term in BPMN to describe the direction of an event. Throwing means that an event is send from an event node.

Timer event

An process modeling element which is triggered by reaching a specified moment. It is used to influence the behavior of a process. A timer event can be used in the process module.

Widget

Is a stand alone set of information which can be displayed on a portal page. Within Blueriq a widget will be a container which displays the pages within a connected flow.

Worklist

A list which shows the task a user can or must execute.
