Projects, Assets, and Project Organization

Projects help to facilitate the sharing and organization of resources. Before modeling your business process or defining your organization model, you must create a project to contain your assets.

A project can contain the following assets:

  • Processes and forms - A process models the business process, and forms that are used to collect user input in a user task within a business process.
  • Business Object Model - A business object model is a set of business terms and relationships specific to your corporate environment (for example, in a financial environment, broker, counterparty, and so on).
  • Organization models - An organization model defines the organizational structure of your enterprise and the relationships between the different components (for example, organization units and positions) within your organization.
  • Work List Facade - This project type is the single place where you can define display values for work list attributes that are used throughout an organization.
  • Global Signal - These are signals that are thrown and caught across process instances, allowing processes to collaborate with each other.
  • REST Service - Processes can be published as a REST (Representational State Transfer) service, which allows client applications to use the BPM REST API to invoke the published REST service.
