If you want to model your own microservice, you need to create a Service and a BPMN model in the Explorer. Each newly created service contains already a Models folder to which you can add single BPMN models.

Adding a BPMN Model

In the Process folder you can create your BPMN models. One service can contain several BPMN models.

To create a model, hover over the Process folder to display the quick start icons and click Add Model.

Enter a name for the BPMN model in the pop-up window Create New Model. Click Save.
