3. Add a new item and enter its details (namely connection details) as described:

Bizagi project name: The name that identifies this item's purpose (connecting to a specific Bizagi Work Portal).

It should be unique and describe the Bizagi project to be integrated.

Bizagi project URL: The URL location to your Bizagi Work portal.

Should be specified as: https://[environment]-[project]-[company].bizagi.com

Shared domain: This is the domain where the SharePoint and Bizagi BPM servers are included, must be the same for all of them. This field is mandatory.

Cookie path: This is the URL path that must exist in the requested resource. For example, if you set the cookie path as /company any URL that begins with /company is valid. By default this parameter is / when it is leaved empty.

2. Setup for the geolocalization feature

If your Bizagi project enables the Geolocalization feature, make sure you perform the following adjustments to your SharePoint site configuration:

 

Edit the SharePoint site's web.config file to include the following custom header (inside of the <customHeaders> element):
<add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=edge" />

 

Locate the whole <system.webServer> element.

In it, you should have a definition looking somewhat like the image below:
