A method is disclosed for creating a workflow process. An initial activity (304, 316) is displayed. The method then displays a user interface diagram (FIG. 5) to configure a type of an activity to be added to the workflow process in response to a detection of designation of adding the activity. The type of the activity configured in the user interface diagram is then saved and the added activity (420, 312) whose type is configured is then displayed in the user interface diagram. In another form, the method shows an initial activity in the workflow process, the initial activity having associated therewith a list for selecting a starting activity. A first new activity is then added to the workflow process, the first new activity having associated therewith lists for selecting destination activities for each of a number of outcomes of the first new activity. The list for selecting a starting activity in the initial activity to include the first new activity is then updated. A second new activity is then added to the workflow process, the second new activity having means of selecting a corresponding destination activity for each of a number of outcomes of the second new activity. The list of starting activities in the initial activity and the lists of destination activities in the first new activity are each then updated to include the second new activity.
