Getting Started =========================================== Once you enable the *Business Process* module, it will pop up in your menu. When you click on it, it will show you a new Dashboard:  A new Business Process configuration ------------------------------------------- From here we choose to create a new *Business Process configuration*:  Let's have a look at the single fields: ### Configuration name  The Business Process definition will be stored with this name. This is going to be used when referencing this process in URLs and in Check Commands. ### Title  You might optionally want to provide an additional title. In that case the title is shown in the GUI, while the name is still used as a reference. The title will default to the name. ### Description  Provide a short description explaining within 100-150 character what this configuration provides. This will be shown on the Dashboard. ### Backend  **Hint:** *Usually this should not be changed* Icinga Web 2 currently uses only one Monitoring Backend, but in theory you could configure multiple ones. They won't be usable in a meaningful way at the time of this writing. Still, you might want to use a different backend as a data provider for your Business Process. ### State Type  You can decide whether `SOFT` or `HARD` states should be the used as a base when calculating the state of a Business Process definition. ### Add to menu Business Process configurations can be linked to the Icinga Web 2 menu. Only the first five configurations a user is allowed to see will be shown there:  That's all for now, click `Add` to store your new (still empty) Business Process configuration. Empty configuration =================== You are redirected to your newly created Business Process configuration:  From here we can now add as many deeply nested Business Processes as we want. But let's first have a look at our Dashboard once again:  Now let's move on and [create your first Nodes](04-Create-your-first-process-node.md).
