Interface PeopleFlowContract

All Superinterfaces:

Identifiable, Inactivatable, Versioned

All Known Implementing Classes:

PeopleFlowBo, PeopleFlowDefinition, PeopleFlowDefinition.Builder

public interface PeopleFlowContract
extends Identifiable, Inactivatable, Versioned

Contract interface for a PeopleFlowDefinition. A PeopleFlowDefinition is simply a collections of members and their (optional) delegates. Each member of a PeopleFlowDefinition has a priority number assigned to it, which indicates the order in which members should be processed during execution of the flow.

Priority is ordered by the lowest priority number being the "beginning" of the flow. It is possible for one or more members to have the same priority number, in which case they should be processed in parallel.

Members of a flow can be one of either a principal, group, or role which is defined by the PeopleFlowMemberContract.
