About Processes

Open the Process Design perspective to create or edit process diagrams.

The Process Design perspective is composed of an editor and several views. The editor is a visual component that is used to edit or browse a process diagram. The views support the editor, provide alternative presentations for selected items in the editor, and let you navigate the information in Workbench.

To open the Process Design perspective:

Click the Process Design Perspective icon in the toolbar.

You can also click the Window menu and select either of the following items:

• Open Perspective > Process Design

• Open Perspective > Other > and then select Process Design and click OK.

Window > Open Perspective > Process Design is available only when the Process Design or Form Design perspective is currently being used.

By default, perspectives always open in the same window. To open perspectives in a new window, edit the preferences.

The Process Design perspective contains a default combination of views and an editor. You can also open views that the current perspective does not contain.

These views are available:

Components:

Tools for installing and managing components.

Events:

Tools for creating and managing event types. (See Managing event types .)

Applications:

Tools for viewing and managing AEM forms applications.

Process Properties:

Tools for configuring the properties of operations on a process diagram. (See Input and output data for operations .)

Resources:

Tools for interacting with resources in the repository, such as folders, forms, and images.

Services:

Lists the services you can use in your process diagrams.

Validation Report:

Tools for viewing the results of process validations. (See Validation reports .)

Variables:

Tools for creating and configuring variables. (See Process variables .)

After you open a view, it becomes part of the current perspective until you close the view.
