This sample demonstrates a mortgage application submitted for approval using Flex. Adobe® LiveCycle® Enterprise Suite 3 (ES3) process routes a submitted application to a Loan Approver or a Manager depending on the amount of monthly mortgage payment . Amount greater than $2,000 defaults to Manager.
The following illustrates the workflow for this sample:
The mortgage applicant (Akira Tanaka, username=atanaka) logs in the workspace and submits a mortgage application.
If the monthly payment is less than 2000, the application is routed to the Loan Approver (John Jacobs, username=jjacobs) for approval.
If the monthly payment is 2000 or more, the application is routed to the Manager (Sara Rose, username=srose) for approval.
The Loan Approver or the Manager approves or rejects the application, and the decision is written to a text file on the server.
This sample uses Adobe® LiveCycle® Process Management 10 and Flex Builder™ modules as follows:
Process Management: Workspace Start process (used to start a process)
Process Management: Workspace To-Do (used to complete a task)
Process Management: Process branching based on input form data from Adobe® LiveCycle® Workspace 10
Flex Builder: Demonstrates how an application created using Flex can be enabled to work within Workspace
Note: These instructions assume that LiveCycle ES3 is installed on the C: drive on Microsoft Windows. If you have installed to a different location, substitute the directory where you installed LiveCycle ES3.
