An activity is an instance of the Rule-Obj-Activity rule type. An activity is the fundamental sequential processing unit of the Process Commander system.

An activity when defined consists of a sequence of steps, each of which can contain a method or an instruction. As you save an activity form, the system converts information in the form into server-side Java source code. At runtime, this Java code is compiled and executed to perform processing, analysis, and decision making.

An activity consists of one or more steps. Each step can call a Process Commander method, can transfer control to another activity, or execute custom inline Java.

Click the Preview toolbar button () to convert the steps and their parameters into an English-language description (called verbalization) that documents what the activity does. You can save the resulting HTML file locally, and have it as a reference to describe part of your application.
