+===== Starting a Process Instance =====
+Process instances can be started using either the ToDo-Client or the Process-Manager Client. Both options require that the user have the right to start an instance for the given process definition.
-====Start process instance====
+==== Starting an instance in the Process Manager Client ====
-A process instance must be started based on a definition, for starting a run of an instance.
+The **processes** table in the process manager client displays the available process definitions. By clicking on the plus-icon, an instance for the selected process definition can be started.
-There are several ways:
-  * via [[todo-processmanager4g| Processmanager Client]]. (see element 7)
-  * via [[todo_clients| ToDo Client]] (see element 12) and thereby opening window

-Soll eine neue Instanz gestartet werden so öffnet sich das folgende Fenster :
+Before the instance initiates, a pop-up appears in which the instance parameters can be entered; these include the instance name and description as well as the intended starting and ending dates.

+| **2** | Here an additional description for the instance, for example, a description of the instance function or other information, can be entered. |

+| **6** | The **Smartform**-tab opens the Smartform of the given process. Here, information that becomes relevant after the instance start can be entered. |

-===Voraussetzungen für einen Instanzstart===
+===Requirements for starting an instance===
-Nicht jedem Benutzer ist es gestattet eine neue Instanz zu starten, da diese nur an einem Prozess teilnehmen, diesen aber nicht aktiv starten sollen.
+Not every user has the rights to start an instance for a process definition. In order to grant a user the rights to start an instance, the following criteria must be fulfilled:
-Um einem User den Instanzstart zu genehmigen müssen die folgenden Bedingungen erfüllt sein:
+  * the user must be registered as a **starter** in Signavio (or iGrafx), or be part of a group which is registered as a **starter**
-  * der Benutzer muss als **starter** in Signavio eingetragen sein, bzw. Teil der Gruppe sein die als **starter** eingetragen ist
+  * the user must have the starter [[roles| rights ]]
-  * der Benutzer muss das [[rights| Recht ]] Starter besitzen
-Ist dies alles erfüllt und so kann der Benutzer die entsprechende Definiton in seiner Liste sehen und Instanzen von dieser starten.
+If all criteria are met, the user is able to start an instance within the relevant process definition.
+==== Starting an instance in the Todo Client ====
+In the Todo Client you can start instances via the context menu in the upper right corner of the screen (see screenshot).
+{{:software:tim:todostartpi.png?600|}}
+In the **My startable process** pop up you can select the process definition to start an instance from (see Screenshot).
+{{:software:tim:todostartpi2.png?600|}}
+The necessary parameter to start an instance, have to be enter in the same way as in the Process Manager Client.
+==== Starting an instance via a webform ====
+Process instances can be from without TIM via a [[en:software:tim:webform|Webform]]. This particularly useful if not all process participants have access to TIM. How to create webform is described in detail in the [[en:software:tim:webform|Webform page]].\\
+\\ In the webform the process instance is created on submission by the following line. In the example a process instance of the **8D Problem Solving** process is created.
+<code><input type="hidden" name="processdefinition" id="processdefinition" value="8D Problem Solving" /></code>
+<note important>To start a process instance via a webform, the respective process definition has to be published in TIM</note>
+==== Starting an instance via a URL ====
+Furthermore instances can be started via a URL. To do so, the term **startProcessInstanceByProcessDefinition="name of the process definition"** is attached to the TIM server URL.\\
+The following example URL starts an instance of the 8D Problem Solving process
+<code>http://tim.taskinmotion.de/loom-portal/client/todo/index.htm?startProcessInstanceByProcessDefinition=8D%20Problem%20Solving</code>
+<note important>To start a process instance via a webform, the respective process definition has to be published in TIM</note>
