You enable Process Designer to be run from
IBM® Content Navigator by configuring the appropriate desktops and menus. 
Before you begin
Verify that you have the appropriate privileges for the isolated region. The following groups
control who can change the workflow system configuration with
Process Designer:
- The workflow system administration group
- The workflow system configuration group
For more information, see Assigning workflow security levels.
About this task
The configuration for Process Designer affects the following menu actions:
- For workflow definition documents, the Open menu action is changed to run
Process Designer.
- For object store menus, the Open Process Designer menu action is
added.
Use
the IBM Content Navigator administration
client to complete this procedure. The exact steps depend on the version
of IBM Content Navigator that you
use.
Procedure
To configure the menu actions for Process Designer:
- Register the Process applets plug-in. See Registering the Process applets plug-in with IBM Content Navigator. For workflow definition documents, the installation of the plug-in causes the
Open menu action to run Process Designer.
- Add the repository and connection point that is used with
the Process Designer tool. For
the repository Configuration parameters, be
sure to choose Yes for the option Display
workflow definition class.
- When the Process Designer tool
is opened, it automatically works with the isolated region that is
specified by the connection point for the repository that is in use
at the time. The IBM Content Navigator administration
client does not require that the connection point that is specified
for a repository to be a connection point that is associated with
the object store that is specified for the repository. This allows
the workflow definition documents to be stored in different object
store than the one that contains the workflow system.
- If the FileNet developer works with multiple
isolated regions, you must define a distinct repository for each connection
point. Later, you can assign multiple repositories to the desktop
that you create to use the Process Designer tool.
When desktops are assigned to multiple repositories, a customized
menu that you create is synchronized with the repository that is being
used. For example, if you browse to a folder in a repository and open
a workflow definition document, Process Designer automatically works
with the connection point that is specified for that repository.
- If you need to configure access to a legacy
workflow system, define a repository by using the object store that
holds the workflow definition documents and specify the connection
point for the legacy workflow system.
For more information, see Connecting and configuring IBM FileNet Content Manager
repositories.
- Create a desktop for use by the workflow author.
- Name the desktop. For example, name the desktop "My Desktop".
- On the Repositories tab, add the repositories that you want to access.
- You can assign specific users who can access the desktop. By restricting access to the desktop,
an administrator can control which users in the organization can use the Process Designer tool.
For more information, see Defining desktops.
Add the Open Process Designer menu action to a menu and associate the
menu with a menu type on the created desktop (such as My Desktop): - On the Menus tab, copy the Default repository folder context
menu menu and name it. For example, name the menu "My menu".
- Select My Menu and click Edit.
- Add the Open Process Designer menu action to the Selected
Actions list. Save your changes.
- On the Desktops tab, select My desktop and click
Edit.
- On the Menus tab, find the menu type where you want the Open
Process Designer menu action to appear and select My Menu. Save
your changes.

- Verify that Process Designer opens. For more information, see Running Process Designer.
