The process pane is the canvas for the template. It is blank for a new template and includes the workflow diagram for an existing template. It is the area where a workflow diagram is defined.

Process Properties

The right pane displays as the Process Properties pane. When an item is selected in the workflow diagram, this pane changes to collect information specific to the item. Process, Tasks, Phase, Gate, or Decisions Properties panes may display.
