1 License Verification License Verification is a sample Business Process that gets a list of license numbers as initial data set, checks their validity, scrapes the license information from the web-site, puts the acquired data to a spreadsheet and saves the spreadsheet as a Report to the local S3 File Storage. Business Process Structure Input Data To view and change, if necessary, the input data go to the Data tab. In this Business Process the Input Data contains a list of licenses to be checked. Click Next to proceed to Business Process Design to check the workflow and Business Process steps. Business Process Workflow and Steps Go to the Design tab to see the entire Business Process workflow and check each particular step (Task or Rule). Attention Tasks can incorporate variables, which are used to transfer the data from one Task to another or identify an external source (for example, pre-defined S3 bucket) for Task's input data. Such variables are declared externally, for example in configuration files and not included to the input data for the Business Process. In such case, you will see the warning message as below: The warning message is redundant, so you can skip it. Workflow

2 The workflow of the current Business Process consists of the following steps: Start (initial step) Verify Input Records >> Exclude invalid license numbers >> Get license information >> Join records with license information >> Generate Report as a spreadsheet >> Save Report to S3 >> End (final step). Double click a Task to see its structure and properties. Business Process Steps Step 1 Workflow Start Workflow is initiated and started. Step 2 Verify Input Records Step 2 is a Bot Task. At this step all records from the Input Data (license numbers) are checked, if they are valid. A license number is valid, if it's not empty.
