 +==== 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>​
