Creating a process using Workbench

Before you start this module, ensure that you completed the tasks in Creating a form design in Designer.

You create a process using Workbench. A process that involves users is called a human-centric process. Human-centric processes automate the routing of data from one user to another by assigning tasks. Part of creating a process is drawing a process diagram. A process diagram is the visual representation of the business process that you are automating. You will add elements to the process diagram to represent steps in the process you are automating. Elements can include operations, users, routes, and start points. After you draw the process diagram, you add variables and configure operations to implement the steps in the business process.

In this module, you will create a human-centric process to automate your business process. (See Understanding the business problem.)

The business process you automate uses the form design you created. (See Creating a form design in Designer.) To learn how to create a human-centric process, complete these steps in the following order:

Create a process in Workbench. (See Creating a process.)
Draw the process diagram and configure it to implement the business process. (See Editing the process diagram.)
Validate the process you created. (See Validating a process.)

Note: If you are familiar with the process of creating processes, import the process and process-dependency files to your LiveCycle application instead. (See Adding a prebuilt process to a LiveCycle application.)
