Petriflow 101 - Part 2

First Deployment (Upload) in eTask - Hybrid Layout

💡 What you'll do

Export your Request model from Builder, upload to eTask, submit via public link, and verify as a logged‑in user.

Overview

Goal & Context

This part shows how to move your process from Builder to eTask and test it as a real running workflow.
You’ll see how deployment, public access, and user verification fit together.

You will:

• Export the request.xml model you built in Part 1
• Upload it to eTask → Process Models
• Access the public submission link
• Observe the submitted case as both an anonymous and logged-in user

Step-by-Step Flow

Deployment Steps

Step	Action	Purpose
1️⃣	Export model (request.xml) from Builder	Generate deployable process definition
2️⃣	Register / Login to eTask	Access the process management dashboard
3️⃣	Upload model to Process Models	Deploy the PetriFlow XML into the eTask runtime
4️⃣	Open Public Link	Submit the form anonymously
5️⃣	Verify in Cases / Tasks	Check visibility and status as a logged-in user

NOTE

Public submissions create anonymous cases; logged-in users can later monitor them in the Cases and Tasks views.

Why It Matters

• Validates the Builder → eTask integration pipeline
• Demonstrates how public (anonymous) access compares to authenticated interaction
• Establishes your baseline deployment before adding rules, roles, and versioning in later steps

NOTE

After this part, you’ll have your first live workflow - visible, testable, and ready for iteration.
