1. Select Workflow —> Start a Workflow from the menu bar. The Start Workflow dialog box displays.

2. Select the organization that contains the workflow you want to start in the Select the organization drop-down list. This list displays all the organizations to which you belong.

3. Select the workflow to start from the Select a workflow to start scroll list. The workflows that appear in this list represent all available workflow template definitions that you can start manually. Such workflows are marked active or manual start at workflow design time.

4. Click the OK button to start the workflow. The processing that occurs during startup depends on the definition of the workflow created at design time. See BEA WebLogic Process Integrator Studio User Guide for more information.

   After the workflow starts successfully, the BEA WebLogic Process Integrator dialog box displays.
