Activiti 5.1 Release Adds Activiti KickStart

The highlights for the 5.1 Activiti release:
  • Added Activiti KickStart (more about this new component below)
  • Added automatic upgrade of the DB schema from 5.0 to 5.1
  • Added generation and display of process definition diagram based on DI information.
  • Added historic task instances
  • Added Comments to artifacts in Cycle
  • Improved Cycle Plug-In Infrastructure (now using Annotations)
  • Fixed various bugs
Activiti KickStart is a new component for which I want to share this quick introduction. It makes building process solutions as easy as 1, 2, 3 for non technical business people. In essence, Activiti KickStart allows you to enter the steps as a list of text fields and Activiti

KickStart will create a BPMN process for you based on your input.
In addition, the same simple paradigm also lets you create forms with each step in the process.
This form, then looks like this in Activiti Explorer
This way non technical business users can create fully functional process models. And if later more advanced process authoring needs to be done, we allow for seamless migration from Activiti KickStart to the more advanced, fully fledged Activiti Modeler, which is our web based BPMN process authoring tool.


Download Activiti & share your experiences!
