4.2. Defining Process Properties
To define Process properties, do the following:
- Open your process in the Process Designer.
Click anywhere on the canvas. Make sure that no process element is selected.
Process Properties RestrictionsWhen creating a new process or copying an existing process with a name that uses a multibyte encoding (for example in Japanese, Chinese, Russian, or other), these characters are converted to their URL equivalent when the editor generates the process ID property.
Due to BPMN2 type restrictions, it is not recommended to use multibyte encodings when manually changing the process ID.
Click
to expand the Properties (BPMN-Diagram) panel.
Figure 4.3. Opening Variable Editor

- Define the process properties on the tab by clicking individual entries. For entries that require other input that just string input, the respective editors can be used by clicking the arrow icon. Note that editors for complex fields mostly provide validation and auto-completion features.
- To save your changes, click Save in the top right corner.
