Core

FOUR-2040: ProcessMaker users with the Make this user a Super Admin option may now directly view the Tasks as displayed in the Task column of Request summaries by clicking a link to that Task.
The following BPMN 2.0 elements for conditional events are now available in Process Modeler:
- Conditional Boundary Event element: Use a Conditional Boundary Event element to route workflow through its outgoing Sequence Flow element(s) when specified Request conditions for that element are met. If the element is interrupting, workflow routes immediately through its outgoing Sequence Flow element regardless of whether its associating element is complete; otherwise, the element is non-interrupting and workflow routes through its outgoing Sequence Flow element after its associating element completes. A Conditional Boundary Event element may be used with any of the following elements or connectors:
  - Form Task element
  - Manual Task element
  - Script Task element
  - Sub Process element
  - Actions By Email connector (requires the Actions By Email package)
  - Data Connector connector (requires the Data Connector package)
  - PDF Generator connector (requires the PDF Generator package)
  - Send Email connector (requires the Send Email package)
- Conditional Start Event element: Use a Conditional Start Event element to trigger a Request when Request conditions from a parent Request are met, thereby starting a child Request. If the conditions in the parent Request are not met, the Conditional Start Event element ignores the call to start a Request.
- Intermediate Conditional Catch Event element: Use an Intermediate Conditional Catch Event element to pause workflow for a Request until specified Request conditions are met, thereby resuming workflow through whichever outgoing Sequence Flow element's conditions meet those Request condition.

Conditional event elements associated with Sub Process elements are still under development. Please use at your own risk.
