Steps and step details
Steps are the building blocks of an Oroko process map.
A step can describe the work itself and carry the context needed to understand how that work is performed.
Step types
Section titled “Step types”Oroko supports these canonical step types:
- Start
- Activity
- Decision
- Subprocess
- End
Start and End identify process boundaries. Activities describe work. Decisions represent branching points. Subprocesses can represent a lower-level flow.
Step information
Section titled “Step information”Depending on the step, Oroko can capture:
- name;
- description;
- owner;
- role;
- system;
- duration;
- inputs;
- outputs;
- documents;
- notes;
- annotations.
Use these fields to make the step understandable without turning the visual node itself into a large block of text.
Documents
Section titled “Documents”A document can be listed against a step. Oroko also supports attaching files to a selected step.
The current file attachment flow accepts DOCX, PNG, PDF, CSV, JSON, Markdown, XLS and XLSX files up to 25 MB.
Subprocesses
Section titled “Subprocesses”A Subprocess step can contain a child flow.
Use a subprocess when a step needs its own lower-level sequence while the parent process should remain readable at a higher level.
Deleting steps
Section titled “Deleting steps”Start and End steps cannot be deleted.
Deleting another step removes that step and its related connections. Other downstream steps remain unless they are separately removed.
