Any Djeeni process consists of a series of different process steps. You can think of a process step as a Lego building block - simple and easy-to-use. However, the possible combinations of the steps are endless giving you the power to automate very complex processes.
Djeeni is the tool to automate your process after it is designed and implemented. Even if you know your process by heart it is wise to take a pen and paper to write it down so you do not forget any step of it. Let's take an example:
When you start Djeeni there is no process in the editor. You should either create a new or open an existing process. Fortunately, an empty process is already created as your 'First process'. At the start, Djeeni displays the list of processes to choose the one you want to work with (you can see 'First process' as the only element of the list); later, click on the Open icon on the ribbon to open the processlist popup window. For now, select the only process available and click Open Process (or double click on the process name). Djeeni opens this empty process. You can change the name and title of the process by clicking on Settings on the ribbon.
Alternatively, you can click on the New icon on the ribbon; enter the name and description of the new process and create it.
Open Djeeni (maybe you have to first activate it). You will see a tall and thin popup - the Process Toolbar. This toolbar is used to build any process in Djeeni - block-by-block. Follow these instructions for adding a process step:
Have you forgotten to add a step and you want to insert it? Or have you chosen the wrong step and want to remove it? See below how to edit your process
If you have not entered any process into the Process Editor yet, here is the famous 'Hello World' example to try out:
Congratulations! Your first Djeeni process is created and executed.
You have your first process in the Process Editor. Select any process step by clicking on its name in column A. The selected process step gets a dark background and white text colour - it becomes the current process step.
You can insert a new process step before the current process step by selecting the new process step in the Process Toolbar and then clicking on the Before button.
You can remove the current process step by clicking on the Remove button. NB: Do NOT click on Clear!
There is a process in the Process Editor. Every process steps have one or more parameters in column C. You can set these parameters in two ways:
Most of the parameters are straightforward to set. Several process steps have a general Options parameter. It lets you set a series of values separated by semicolons (;) altering or refining the behaviour of the process step. The exact list of allowed values of Options varies from process step by process step.
You can read further about process steps and their parameters here.
Once you entered all the parameters Djeeni knows everything. Let Djeeni work instead and for you.
Do you have a process entered or loaded into the Process Editor? Executing it is the easiest part: click on the Execute button on the Process Toolbar.
The best learning is experiencing. Take Djeeni and while you read this guide try all features out by creating and editing the processes.
