Process--subprocess

Question

I have created a process where, depending on what is entered in a field, it either triggers a task with another form or a subprocess. I have tested the option to launch a new task, and it works well. However, when I test the subprocess, it stays with the green box, and the interface for the subprocess doesn't generate. Could someone help me?

Can you clarify - do you have the Form within the sub-process node or is the form in a User Input Task in the process model referenced by that sub-process node? In general I don't recommend including a form on any node except for a User Input Task.

What do you mean by "interface for the subprocess"?

Based on your subprocess icon in the upper-right of the node, you have the entire process assigned to a group. Assuming you are not attempting to use a Start Form on this sub process (as nothing is generating), you will want to change this to run as automated and let assignment occur with the subprocess User Input Task.

If you were attempting to use a Start Form for the subprocess (which I have never needed to do and would not recommend), a task would be generated at any rate:

Hi miguelm137538 , 
 I see that for the sub process you have used the assignment window to specific user group. Can you confirm that you are in that specific group. 
 I think you are not part of it. It will be assigned to that group. The group members will get the task Any one need to complete the task of the sub process to move to next state. 
 If there is no sub task in sub-process use the 2nd option. "This node will run as an automated activity. It will not be assigned to anyone as a task" in the sub process node. It will run automatically and move to next node.

In your main process for the sub process node change the assignment to "This node will run as an automated activity. It will not be assigned to anyone as a task" as you have gave it to the user group . It will receive as a task to that group once any of the person submits the task then the process instance will be moved to next step
