Creating a Process

Each project can have many processes. In this task, you will create the ExpenseReport process of the ExpenseManagement project.

To create the ExpenseReport process:

In the Project Navigator, expand the ExpenseManagement project.
Right-click Processes (), then select New > Process (). The Process dialog box appears.
Enter ExpenseReport in the Name field.
Select the Generate Events for all Activities option. This will later allow you to see every step the process instance (the expense report) has been through.
Click OK.
A new window appears with the new process. This is known as an editor. The design view is shown, as you can verify by looking at the tab at the bottom of the editor.

The new process contains a Begin and an End Activity, joined by an unconditional transition. The Begin and End Activities define the entry and exit points for a Process.

When you create a new process, these activities are always created automatically, together with the unconditional transition which connects them.
