Creating a process

To begin working with the Application Lab, you must create your processes.

1. In the Application Lab main window, select a library from the Process Library and click the New icon in your library toolbar.
2. In the General tab, specify the attributes for the process that you are creating.
3. Optionally, click the Triggers tab and select New to define the conditions to run your process automatically.
4. Optionally, click the Variables tab and select New to create variables. You can use variables either in the Steps panel or in the Self-Service Catalog. You are not required to create variables, however, you might want to define a variable to reuse the same definition in different steps.
5. Click on the Steps tab and select New to specify what your process does as a simple series of steps. Select the step to be completed with its properties and the system where it runs. Use ^variable_name^ to reference any variable that you defined for the process in the Variable tab. The process is saved automatically.
