Diagram
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 "Issue Creation") and give it an identifier (e.g., the default name would be "issueCreation").
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 | issueCreation | The Id of the workflow definition. This must be unique in Collibra |
| Name | Cancel Process | The default workflow label (description) in Collibra. |

| Documentation | This process takes care of creating new issues and placing them in the correct responsible community. Any user can start this workflow and needs to fill in a list of required and optional parameters for the issue to be created. | This information is shown to the user when hovering over a workflow start button. |
