What is NOT a function of process models in Appian?

Defining data types is not a function of process models in Appian. Process models in Appian are primarily used for automating and managing workflows, defining how tasks are carried out in an application. They drive actions by outlining the steps needed to complete a process, incorporating various activities that may involve work assignments, evaluations, and transitions.

In contrast, while process models can manage workflows and drive actions, defining data types is generally handled in the data structure configuration of Appian, separate from the execution and orchestration aspects of process models. Data types are defined using data store entities or database tables where you specify how data is structured, whereas process models are focused on the sequence of operations and the flow of work in response to inputs and triggers. Integrating data sources is an operational aspect related to ensuring that process models can access necessary data, which is also distinct from defining data types.
