Creating a Process Project in the KIE Workbench - jBPM6 Developer Guide - page 136

Interacting with the Web Process Designer
The KIE Workbench comes with the latest stable version of the Web Process Designer.
After the JBoss instance is launched (see Chapter 4 , Understanding the KIE Workbench ),
we will have to access the process designer by going to the Authoring | Project Author-
ing perspective and interact with an existing project to work with its process definitions
(and other types of knowledge).
In this section, we are going to explain how to create, modify, and delete processes in the
KIE Workbench. After these three operations are explained, we will be ready to cover the
different features provided by the Web Process Designer in detail as well as how we can
use them to define some of the processes that have already been covered in previous
chapters of this topic.
Creating new processes
In Chapter 4 , Understanding the KIE Workbench , we had a glimpse of how to list the pro-
cesses residing in a project folder. We used the playground repositories and project already
provided by the KIE Workbench by default as a demo. But of course, before we can list the
processes of a project, we need to create them. If we want to create a new process, we need
to go to the New Item action toolbar option of the Project Authoring perspective and se-
lect the Business Process option.
Before the new process is created, we need to provide some information using the pop-up
window that is opened, shown in the following screenshot. It will provide us with a textbox
for selecting a name for our process. It is also going to give us a Virtual File System
( VFS ) path for the folder where the process will be created.
Tip
The KIE Workbench will store all knowledge assets we create in a VFS, which for the cur-
rent version is implemented in Git repositories.
