Creating New Projects

In the X4 Designer, you organize your processes in so-called projects.

On this page, you can find an instruction how to create new, empty projects in the Projects view.

When you create a new project, the Project Creation Wizard opens. In addition to the option of creating an empty project (Empty), various pre-filled project templates with example processes are also available in this wizard.

When you select one of these templates, the corresponding project with all prepopulated files, folders, and processes is loaded into your workspace. You can then adapt the projects to your needs and data structures.

In the "Getting Started" section, you can find examples of the three most common project types including extensive step-by-step instructions on how to recreate them:

• Example: BPM Project

• Example: ESB Project

• Example: Web App Project
