Maestro user guide
Agentic processes feature a dedicated designer where you can design and configure your long-running enterprise process in an industry-standard BPMN format.
Agentic processes feature interconnected elements (steps) which can be repositioned and deleted. Each element can be configured in the designer or in the Properties panel. Some elements act as events that control process executions, while others act as placeholders for other activities and workflows.
Link elements between that with connectors , in a way that is meaningful to your flow. Then you can add, link, and remove other available elements. Double click on any
element to name it.
Use the marquee tool to select elements in the designer (click and drag) and the hand tool to navigate inside the canvas (Space key, then click and drag).
To hide the canvas background, right-click anywhere on the canvas and select Hide background grid. You can show the grid again by selecting Show background grid.
Every agentic process starts by default with a Start Event element added to the designer. You can add other elements to your project from the left toolbar.
