Key concepts
Process definition
A process is a sequence of tasks perfomed by people (human tasks) or automatically (service tasks). The sequence has a start, an end, and can contain decision points, known as gateways. A process definition is a constructed in Bonita BPM Studio as a flow diagram. The diagram uses BPMN 2.0.
If a process is visible to users, you can use the Bonita BPM Studio Form Builder to design forms to input data and forms to display information. You add data, gateways, connectors, scripts and expressions to control the process flow, and configure the process components and dependencies. The result is an application that can be deployed to Bonita BPM Portal, where it is known as an app.
