Defining the Start Element

Each BPM process is automatically created with a start element in the editor and must contain at least one start element. Use this start element to define the start event of the process.

In the properties of the start element, you can choose between different event types. Depending on the selected event type, the icon of the start element changes, but the functionality of the element is not changed.

In addition, you can use the properties to specify which activity status value is set when the process is started, for example, New invoice.

For the example project, you create a time-controlled start event.

How to set the Timer Start

1. Click the Start element and select Timer Start from the Event drop-down list in the Properties view.

2. Open the drop-down list in the Case State field in the Properties view and select the New invoice status.
