# Create Blank Project

### Create Blank Project

The **Create Blank Project** option allows users to create **only the basic project and process skeleton**, without requiring full process configuration at the time of creation.

This approach is suitable when key process components—such as **Business Objects** or **Work Parties**—have not yet been fully defined or finalized.

***

### When to Use Create Blank Project

Users should consider using **Create Blank Project** in the following scenarios:

* When **Business Objects (BO)** are not yet defined
* When **Work Parties / User Roles** are still under discussion
* When the goal is to **start with the process flow diagram only**
* When users want to **experiment or prototype** process logic before finalizing details
* When building the process incrementally rather than all at once

This approach gives users flexibility to **focus on BPMN flow design first**, and add supporting components later as requirements become clearer.

***

### Characteristics of Create Blank Project

* Creates a minimal application and process structure
* Does **not** force step‑by‑step configuration
* Allows partial or incomplete process definitions
* Business Objects, Work Parties, and other components can be added later
* Suitable for advanced or iterative process modeling

***

### Important Note

> **Create Blank Project is not a guided, step‑by‑step approach** for creating a complete business process.

Users can build **partial process components** using this option. However, because it does not enforce full configuration upfront, it may lead to incomplete or inconsistent setups if not carefully managed.

***

### Recommendation for New Users

For users who already have all key process information available—namely:

* **Business Objects (BO)**
* **Work Parties / User Roles**
* **Process Diagram requirements**

…it is **strongly recommended** to use **Create Project Wizard** instead.

The **Create Project Wizard** ensures:

* Structured, step‑by‑step guidance
* Complete and consistent process setup
* Reduced risk of missing required configurations

***

### Summary

The **Create Blank Project** option is intended for flexible and exploratory process creation.

Key points:

* Creates only the project and process skeleton
* Best for early design or prototyping stages
* Allows gradual addition of process components
* Not recommended as a guided learning approach
* **Create Project Wizard** is preferred for new users and complete setups

Using the appropriate creation method helps ensure efficient, accurate, and maintainable business process design in ONEWEB.
