Restrictions on Element Names
A BPMN model name must be unique within one service. In addition, the following name restrictions apply to all service panel elements:
Element names...
... must not be empty.
... must not contain spaces. Exception: Spaces are allowed in operation names.
... must not start with numbers.
... must not end with a period (.).
... must not contain any special characters.
In addition, Action Script commands and some system-relevant strings (e.g. CON, AUX, NUL etc.) cannot be used as element names.
If the name you enter violates these restrictions, the field in the editor turns red and cannot be saved.
When you create a new form, it opens automatically in a new tab and you can directly start designing. Refer to Working with the Form Editor for detailed information.
The new form is also displayed in the service panel and you can use option Open model to open it:
