What is a process variant in Live Process Content?

Question

Options

• AA process flow to map business rules
• BA specific configuration of a process template
• CA temporary file for testing purposes

• A

• B

• C

Explanation

Option B is correct because a process variant is a tailored instance derived from a base process template - it inherits the template's structure while allowing specific configurations (such as different rules, participants, or steps) to address distinct business scenarios. Think of the template as a blueprint and the variant as a customized build from that blueprint.

Option A is wrong because mapping business rules describes the purpose of a decision table or business rule diagram, not a variant - variants configure how a process runs, not what rules govern it. Option C is wrong because process variants are live, production-level configurations, not temporary or disposable test artifacts.

Memory tip: The word variant signals variation on a standard - just like a product variant (e.g., "size large, red color") is a specific configuration of a base product, a process variant is a specific configuration of a base process template.
