Designing a collaboration breaks down into the following steps:

 

1.Designing the workflow

2.Coding this workflow as a JSON object and attaching this object to the Transaction Manager service definition for the collaboration

3.Deriving the Prepopulation data (in XML), used in viewing the behavior of the form for each of the collaboration steps

4.Designing the form in Composer, establishing the form's behavior at each collaboration step and testing this behavior in Composer with the XML data formulated in step 3

5.Reiterating steps 1 to 4 as needed

6.Publish to TM

7.Add, to the TM entry of the form, any Parameters required by the JSON object (these are marked by "##GET FORM PROPERTY").

8.Create in TM any user groups or IDs required by the collaboration, otherwise the collaboration job will not run.

9.Test end-to-end using the service and running collaboration jobs in TM.

10.Reiterate steps 1 to 9 as needed.
