Web Console
The Process Orchestrator Web Console provides a web-based UI that is intended for occasional users.
The vision is that while a broad set of users may be defining processes, pervasively everyone in IT and
even non-IT individuals may need to interact with those processes. The web console focuses on this
second group. It does not allow users to define processes but does allow them to start processes, monitor
processes they started, or interact with human steps in processes called tasks (such as approvals). This
interface is purposefully simplified to minimize the learning curve of occasional users.

Note
The Web Console is typically not used when Process Orchestrator is used in conjunction with Cisco
Prime Service Catalog. In these cases, end-user interaction occurs through the catalog rather than
Process Orchestrator interfaces. The Web Console is typically only used in cases when Process
Orchestrator is used independently.
