Creating process applications
Process applications are the containers for processes you create in Process Designer. You can starting creating process applications directly from Workflow Center.
Authorization
To create a process app and its artifacts in Process Designer, you must have access to the development environment. If you don't see Workflow Center in your cloud portal, report the issue to your account administrator. In addition, you need one or more of the following roles:
- To create a process application, you must have the Process App Creators role. If you don't see the Create a process app option or Create New Process App option in classic Workflow Center, your user ID probably doesn't have the correct authorization. Report the issue to your account administrator.
- To provide users and groups with permission to access individual process applications and toolkits in Workflow Center, you must have the Process Administrators role. For more information, see Managing access to workflow projects.
- To install process apps in a cloud environment that contain automated services or stand-alone automated services, you must have the Operator role. For more information, see Installing process applications in the production environment.
Creating a process application
- Use Basic mode (the default mode) for creating and managing case solutions, templates, process apps, and toolkits.
- Use Advanced mode to perform administrative actions, such as managing connections, users, user groups, and permissions.
For process app and toolkit functions that aren't available in the enhanced Workflow Center or for case solutions you haven't yet promoted to Workflow Center, you can open the classic version of the corresponding tool by using the app switcher in the toolbar.
When you create a process application, you provide a name, acronym, and optional description of the process application. Open your process application to create your processes and other artifacts.
