Abstract
A system is provided. The system comprises a computer system, an at least one memory; and a first application stored in the at least one memory. When executed by the computer system, the first application automatically executes a workflow that receives a first input from a human machine interface (HMI) in a first plant, in response to the first input generates a first event that assigns a first task associated to a first functional role performed at the first plant, receives a second input associated with the first task, in response to the second input generates a second event that assigns a second task associated to a second functional role, receives a third input associated with the second task, in response to the third input transmits information to the human machine interface that changes the process mediated by the human machine interface in the first plant.

15. A method of providing design time contextualization of a business process management system for managing a workflow, comprising:
-
automatically receiving at a first computing device data indicative of a notification of a first task to be completed in a first interface associated with a first application executing on the first computing device, the first task being a portion of a first workflow managed by a business process management application executed on a first computer system and the first task assigned to a first role; presenting, in response to said receiving data indicative of the notification of the first task, a first plurality of information items about the first task in the first interface, wherein the first plurality of information items is selected from a second plurality of information items about the first task based on the first role and wherein the second plurality of information items comprises the first plurality of information items and other information items not comprised in the first plurality of information items; receiving at the first interface of the first application executing on the first computing device a first input related to the first task from the first interface; and in response to said receiving the first input, sending from the first computing device data indicative of a notification of a second task to be completed to a second interface associated with a second application executing on a second computing device, the second task being a portion of the first workflow managed by the business process management application and the second task assigned to a second role; wherein the notification of the second task causes a third plurality of information items about the first task to display in the second interface based on the second role, wherein the second plurality of information items comprises the third plurality of information items and other items not comprised in the third plurality of information items, and wherein the first plurality of information items and the third plurality of information items are not identical. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A computer-implemented method for dynamically contextualizing data within a workflow management system, comprising:
-
receiving at a first computing device data indicative of a notification of a first task, the first task comprising at least in part a first workflow managed by a workflow management system; displaying, in response to said receiving, a first plurality of detail items about the first task in a first interface associated with a first application executing on the first computing device, wherein said displaying is based at least in part on a first profile defined for a user of the first computing device, wherein the first plurality of detail items are a subset of a second plurality of detail items about the first task based on the first profile; transmitting, in response to an input associated with the first user, data indicative of a notification of a second task to a second computing device, the second task comprising at least in part the first workflow, the second task being associated with a second profile defined for a user of second computing device; wherein a second interface associated with a second application executing on the second computing device is responsive to said transmitting for displaying a third plurality of detail items about the first task, the second interface being based at least in part on the second profile, the third plurality of detail items being a subset of the second plurality of detail items, the first plurality of detail items and the third plurality of detail items not being identical. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
