To create a Preliminary WPS click the Documents → New button on the main toolbar and select "Preliminary" in the WPS section.
Complete the fields on the Properties tab, including the number and type of processes. A joint image can be added in the Joint Design section. ProWrite includes a number of images or you can use an image of your own design.
On the Base Metals tab, click the browser button 
to open the Metals Browser. Selecting a base metal from the browser will automatically complete many of the fields on this tab. These values can be manually adjusted if necessary. Complete the rest of the fields on this tab. The notes fields are optional.
The number of processes selected on the Properties tab will determine how many Process tabs are present; the type and method of each process will determine which fields appear on the tab for that process. Similar to the Base Metals tab, clicking the browser button 
will surface the Filler Metal Browser. Again, selecting a material from this browser will complete a number of fields on the tab.
There are multiple button tabs on each Process tab. After selecting the material(s) from the browser(s), complete the necessary fields on these tabs (Position, Current/Polarity, Bead Type, and Passes per side). Notes and additional filler metals should be completed if they apply.
Click the Save and Close button to complete the Preliminary WPS creation process.
