In the test manager you can start or continue a process via the Processes menu. This menu item is only visible when processes have been established in the test manager. Here you will find an overview of the started processes and a new process can be started. This can be done by clicking the 'Start process' button at the top right of the page.
Filters are available to only show processes from certain courses. Also use the context filter to search even more specifically.
Only processes are started or continued in this overview. Processes (or parts of them) may be hidden from specific roles. In addition, not all roles can be set to start the process.
The creation and management of a process by administrator roles is explained in the article Manage process definitions

The image above shows an example of a process. The context in which this process is set up is on the right. In this example, the context is "Questions. Depending on the filters, multiple processes may be shown. Click on the gray box to continue.
The next screen has two selection fields: one for the question bank and one for the categories. From the drop-down list, select a question bank and possibly one or more (sub)categories from that question bank. A selected category is colored blue:
Note that this example is specific to the "Questions" context, any other context will have different options. After selecting the items, click the button at the bottom right to continue.
The next step is to enter a process name and an explanation for the purpose of the process.
Below that, process steps can be edited, if allowed. The following items can be edited:
- Description
- Access roles
- Deadline in days
- User access
Click on any of these items to insert a different text or value. When all changes have been completed, save the process. It will appear in the process overview and the first step can be started.
The steps of a process are set either linear or parallel. A linear process has steps that follow one another. In a parallel process, all the steps can be started at the same time. In the example on the right, the first step has a button with an arrow, indicating that someone can start this step. Step 2 cannot be started because step 1 has not yet been completed.
