## 13.4. Defining Process Templates in EKM Studio

Process template files can be defined graphically in EKM Studio and saved to your local file system or a connected EKM repository as XML files. This section describes how to do this. Process template files can also be defined outside of EKM Studio using any XML or text editor and then opened and edited in EKM Studio. See Appendix A: Defining a Process Template Using XML for details.

When a process template has been created and saved, you can start a process from that template. See Starting and Managing Processes for details. If necessary, administrators can use the scripting interface to test and debug a process template. For more information, see Testing or Debugging a Process Template in the Administration Guide.
