Me Functions
Me Functions
Overview
The Me object encompasses a group of functions that retrieve information related to the active case, task, or element where the rule is executed. This means that the information retrieved by the object is context-dependent, referring to the process, case, and task or element where the function is invoked. The Me object represents the Workitem, or the active BPMN element in the rule execution.
For example, if you have two processes and execute a rule using the Me object at different elements, the information retrieved will differ depending on where the rule is executed. In one case, the rule might be executed in a task, and in another case, it might be executed in a timer of a different process. Each invocation contains the relative information of the element based on its context.
The following figure explains the difference in both situations.
