What is a function mode

A function mode is a mode of execution which will be initiated by the workflow

engine the moment a oracle application user processes certain function or
notification activity.

The function modes of executing a function activity differs from a notification

activity.

With the help of function modes a user can actually get the control over
executing different types of operations depending on the user response to the
notification.
