Step 1: Create a new Activiti project and/or Activiti diagram

The creation of a new Activiti project/diagram is explained in the section on Setting Up Your Workflow Design Workbench

Step 2: Change the Identifier, Name and Description of the Process

We refer to the section Designing Your First Workflow From Scratch, subsection "Change the Identifier, Name and Description of the Process" for an explanation on how to change the identifier, name and description. For this case, name the workflow (e.g., the default would be "Cancel Process") and give it an identifier (e.g., the default name would be "cancelProcess").

Step 3: Create a Pool and Lanes

We refer to the section Designing Your First Workflow From Scratch, subsection "Defining a Pool and Lanes" for an explanation on how to change the identifier, name and description.

Pool > Properties Tab > Process

Property	Value	Description
id	cancelProcess	The Id of the workflow definition. This must be unique in Collibra
Name	Cancel Process	The default workflow label (description) in Collibra.
Namespace	http://www.activiti.org/test
Documentation	This process will be triggered when a process is cancelled. It will notify the configured roles of the cancellation.	This information is shown to the user when hovering over a workflow start button.

Step 4: Create a Start and End Event

Set the properties for the Start Event:

Start Event > Properties Tab > Main Config

Configuration Variables:
