The Automatic Client enables execution of automated steps which do not require any user interaction.
From the viewpoint of the AristaFlow Server, in essence, the Automatic Client behaves like the standard (i.e., interactive) AristaFlow Client; i.e., the server also assigns work items to the "work list" of an automatic client. As opposed to the AristaFlow Client, however, the activity program associated with the work item is automatically started and executed by the AristaFlow Server (i.e., without user interactions).
A particular process step becomes an "automated step" by chosing "automaticclient" as actor assignment expression for this step when defining the corresponding process template with the AristaFlow ProcessTemplateEditor.
