Creating a Process

To create a process, follow these steps:
  1. Start SAS Workflow Studio.
    By default, SAS Workflow Studio opens a new process template named Untitled. This new process template contains a Start node, an End node, two data objects (Process Invoker and Process Title), and several status values (Scheduled, Cancel, Okay, Overdue, and Done).
    Note: If SAS Workflow Studio is already started, then you can start a new process template by selecting Filethen selectNew, by clicking the New File icon (New File icon), or by pressing CTRL+N.
  2. In the process tree, right-click on the root process node (Untitled1) and select Edit.
    The Edit Process dialog box appears.
  3. In the Process Name field, replace Untitled1 with the name for the new process.
  4. (Optional) Add a description for the process in the Description field.
  5. Add and configure the required activities,data objects,statuses,policies, and participants.
  6. Add sequence flows to connect the process elements.
Note: Any workflow template changes take effect on the server after the revised process definition is uploaded and activated. If an earlier version of the process is already running, then it continues with the corresponding definition, but all new process instances use the newly activated version.
The following sections provide details about each type of process element.
