Create Process

This chapter explains how to create and model new processes in Pantarey.

Introduction to Process Modeling

Pantarey uses BPMN notation (Business Process Model and Notation) for process modeling. It enables graphical representation of workflows according to a globally recognized standard.

  • Modeling is done via drag-and-drop.
  • Generated process models are BPMN-compliant and can be exported or reused in other systems.

Overview: The Process Designer

When opening the Process Designer, a modeling workspace appears.

The menu bar at the top offers the following functions:

Function Description
Open existing process Selection and editing of existing processes.
Create new process Creation of an empty process model.
Publish process (Deployment) Release of the process for use.
Export as BPMN file Download of the .bpmn XML file.
Export as image Download of the process as graphic.
Manage script tasks Management of programmed scripts.
Delete process Removal of a process from the system.

Process Designer Overview

Creating a New Process

  1. The menu item "Create new process" is selected.
  2. An empty model is opened.
  3. The process is built step by step via drag-and-drop.

Basic Elements in the Process Model

When creating a process, the following elements are typically used:

Element Description
Start events Define the beginning of a process (e.g. cyclic, user input).
User tasks Tasks that are processed by users.
Service tasks Automated tasks that affect systems or data.
Script tasks Tasks that execute a script.
Decisions (XOR gateways) Control the process flow depending on conditions.
Subprocesses Encapsulate complex flows within a main process.
Database operations Reading and writing data, e.g. in the database.

Editing Properties

When clicking on an element, the properties panel opens on the right side. Here all important configurations are made:

  • Assignment of user groups for tasks.
  • Selection of service function for automated tasks.
  • Definition of conditions for decisions.
  • Specification of database operations.

Note: The correct configuration of properties is crucial for the behavior of the process.

Typical Workflow When Creating a Process

  1. Insert start event (e.g. user input).
  2. Add user task or service task.
  3. Include decisions if variants in the flow are needed.
  4. Define end.
  5. Publish and test the process.

Summary

With Pantarey's Process Designer, new workflows are modeled easily, graphically and standards-compliant. Through intuitive operation and direct editing of properties, a finished, executable process is created step by step.

The next section demonstrates this using a concrete example.
