Chapter 2 : Creating a new workflow project

A new workflow project is created by selecting New and Other from the right click context menu of the Package Explorer.

 

This will bring up the New Wizard Selection Dialog:

Select ProEd -> Workflow XPDL File and click Next.

 

 

This will bring up the New XPDL File wizard:

A Location must be selected and a Process name and File name must be present. The dialog will propose "NewProcess" for the Process name, and will automatically propose the recommended File name, based on whatever is entered in the Process name field.

Click on Finish to cerate a new workflow process with the indicated parameters, and open it in a new ProEd editor

 

 

You now have the main ProEd editor window for the newly created, but empty, project :

The top tab displays:
  • The name of the file being edited
  • The project name
  • The project's version in parenthesis
The tabs at the bottom display: If the project contains Block Activities, additional tabs will be displayed on the bottom when a Block Activity is opened. An Activity view and a Participant view will be displayed for each Block Activity. These tabs will show the name of the Block Activity, and the view type will be show by the icon displayed on the tab. The main project's XPDL tab shows all of the XPDL for the project, including that of the Block Activities, so no XPDL tab is displayed for the Block Activities

When Subflows that are contained in the project are opened, they will be displayed in their own editor window, with a new tab at the top.

 

When a ProEd editor window has focus, the workflow toolbar will be added to the main Eclipse Toolbar.

 

The ProEd menu is available with a menu item that allows you to Logon to the remote server.

 

Workflow elements can now be added to the project as described in the following sections.
