Creating a Process

Processes are the core components of BPM Suite. A process needs to include at least one activity, apart from the Start and End activities, to be complete and valid.

To create a process, complete the following steps:
  1. Check out the solution.

  2. Click the Create tab. The Solution Items ribbon menu is displayed.

  3. Click New Process. The Process screen is displayed. The Start and End activities are displayed in the Process screen.

    Note:
    You can also create a process in the Solution Explorer pane by right-clicking Process and selecting New Process.


  4. In the Process Name field, type a name for the process.

    Note:
    If you want to add a description, click the drop-down arrow in the Process Name field. In the Description field, type a description for the process.


  5. From the Toolbox pane, click and drag an activity to the process. The activities are displayed in the Process screen.

    Note:
    The Start activity and the other initiators are the only activities that do not have activities which link to them. The End activity is the only activity that does not link to another activity.


  6. Connect the Start activity to the new activity by clicking the handle in the middle of the Start activity and dragging the mouse pointer over the middle of the new activity.

    Note:
    You can also drag the new activity over the Start activity until you see it draw a shaded link. When you see the link, release your mouse button.


  7. Connect the new activity to the End activity by clicking the handle in the middle of the new activity and dragging the pointer over the middle of the End activity.

    Note:
    You can also drag the End activity over the new activity until you see it draw a shaded link. When you see the link, release your mouse button.


  8. Click the save button. You created a process with one activity.
