Support applications

A support application contains one or more LN sessions that can be used to support the execution of an activity. These optional sessions, referred to as support applications, are collections of auxiliary sessions such as print and display sessions. However, a support application can be layered and contain other support applications.

Support applications can be linked to a business process or activity; however, they cannot be incorporated in the business process because they are not a mandatory part of it.
