-When setting up or amending workflow there are two pages you will need to know how to use.
+This document can now be found at its new location in the [https://docs.hornbill.com/servicemanager-config/customize/workflows/workflow-designer/ Hornbill Document Library].
-:# '''BPM list view''' - This displays a list of all active and in-active workflows that have been saved. Selecting a workflow will open the BPM edit screen. You can use the following options to manage them :-
+[[file:hornbill-document-library.png|Workflow Designer|link=https://docs.hornbill.com/servicemanager-config/customize/workflows/workflow-designer/]]
-:::* [[File:Create_new.png|80px|create new]] '''New''' workflow - Provide the workflow name and a new basic new Workflow will be created with a start and end node
-:::* [[File:Delete.png|40px|delete]] '''Delete''' workflow - This will remove the workflow from the list
-:::* [[File:Copy.png|40px|copy]] '''Copy''' workflow - Create a copy of an existing workflow with a new name
-:::* [[File:Rename.png|40px|copy]] '''Rename''' workflow - Rename an existing workflow
-:::* [[File:Active or in-active.png|25px|copy]] '''Activate/Deactivate''' workflow - Change the state of the workflow to allow or dis-allow its execution ([[Workflow_-_Concepts|See workflow status)]]
-::2.   '''BPM Edit screen''' - On the menu bar at the top of the view you have 2 sets of buttons. On the left hand side you have:-
-:::* [[File:Manage_current_stage.png|30px|Manage Current Stage]] '''Manage Current Stage''' - Allows you to describe the stage (names and comments) and assign any checkpoints you will use in the stage. You can move the current stage to the left or right in the sequence of stages using the '''<< or >>''' buttons.
-::::[[File:Information.png|16px|information]] - If you don't define checkpoints here then you cannot have checkpoints in the stage
-::::[[File:Information.png|16px|information]] - Its good practice to add to comments for the stage about what is expected from the current stage of workflow
-:::* [[File:Delete_stage.png|30px|delete stage]] '''Delete Stage''' - Deletes current stage
-:::* [[File:Add_stage.png|30px|add stage]] '''Add Stage''' - Adds a new stage as the last stage. You can then move the stage to correct sequence using [[File:Manage_current_stage.png|30px|Manage Current Stage]].
-:::* [[File:Stages.png|200px|stages]] '''Stages''' - Shows defined stages an their sequence (current stage is highlighted)
-:::On the right hand side you have:-
-:::* [[File:Manage_process_parameters.png|30px|manage process parameters]] '''Manage process parameters''' - Here you can specify details for the whole process (including all stages). You can define:-
-::::# [[File:Input_parameters.png|300px|input parameters]] - these are what the process operates on. For [[What_is_Service_Manager? |''Service Manager'']] this is usually requests so 'RequestId' should normally used along with optional and string.
-::::# Output Parameters - You should not normally to define anything here
-::::# Process Description -  Here you can add any comments about the process function, inputs outputs etc.
-::::# Display Options - This changes the how the workflow is presented. Projector option options changes the colours to be stronger.
