The Create Project activity is available if the ELMA Projects+ application is activated. This activity allows creating a project of a certain type in the process. When this activity is executed, the project creation form opens in the web application.
We recommend using this activity, if:
you intend to start the project process with the Start Process button on the main page;
the created process is a sub-process.
It is inadvisable to use this activity, if you intend to start the process on the project page, since the project is already created.
You can find the Create Project activity on the Graphic Model tab in the Projects+ group (fig. 1). You can add this activity to the process graphic model in the same way, as any other activities.

The Common, Projects, Context tabs are similar to the respective tabs of the Send for Approval activity.
The Execution Time tab is similar to the Execution Time tab in the settings of a business process task.
The Attribute Bindings tab is similar to the Attribute Bindings tab of the Create Document operation.
