System activities are steps within a process that do not contain a form and are executed automatically without human interaction.
System activities let you add any number of functions to your process. For example, you can archive documents, add users, change Job Functions, or send E-mails. And you can specify what actions is to be taken if a function fails, either to stop the flow of the process at that point or to continue (See chapter Create and edit a system activity).
Various modules, like E-mail, user, and Job Functions are integrated into JobRouter Designer, but you can extend the power of your processes with additional modules, such as DocuWare, JobSign and JobSAP. The following explains how to set up the preferences for the default system activities. More extensive information on the additional system activities can be found in the respective manuals for the different modules.
