Activity Guide Composer
This update contains all the online components for the activity guide composer framework for enterprise components.
Defining a fluid activity guide requires a number of components that need to be configured by a technical resource who becomes responsible for managing and maintaining the activity guide configuration. The Activity Guide Composer framework is designed to improve the deployment and management of fluid activity guides by separating the technical and functional configuration. The benefits of this is a reduction in technical resources and enabling your functional process owners to manage and maintain their activity guides. In addition, the Activity Guide Composer framework also provides utilities and configurable steps that are commonly utilized in activity guides.
This framework was first adopted by HCM and this documentation is mainly available in these PeopleBooks. More information on the Activity Guide Composer framework is available here.
