Step 1
Choose Definitions > Processes, right-click and choose New > Process.
Step 2

Note
Because Process Orchestrator no longer enforces uniqueness of object names, two content
authors can create and ship automation packs or processes with identical names. As a result, a

avoid confusion to the customer, use a namespace (a unique prefix) when naming objects in
Process Orchestrator. However, there are no technical issues with having duplicate process
names.
