Processes represent the business processes that you are
automating using LiveCycle. You use Workbench to model business
processes at design time. At run time, processes are services that
run on the LiveCycle Server. Client software initiates processes
on demand according to business needs and the purposes of the processes.
Opening the Process Design perspectiveOpen 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: Window >
Open Perspective > LiveCycle Process Design is available only
when the LiveCycle Process Design or LiveCycle 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.
Process Design perspective viewsThe
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 LiveCycle 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.
To open a view: Select Window > Show View > view,
where view is the name of the view.
