# Chapter 22. Graphs

CloverETL Graph is a smallest executable work flow unit.

The CloverETL Graphs are created within CloverETL projects.

In the following sections we are going to describe how you can create your graphs:

1. As the first step, create an empty graph in a project. See Creating Empty Graphs.

2. As the second step, you create the transformation graph using graph components, elements and others tools. See Creating a Simple Graph.

| Note
Remember that once you have already some CloverETL project in you workspace and have opened the CloverETL perspective, you can create your next CloverETL projects in a slightly different way: You can create directly a new CloverETL project from the main menu by selecting File → New → CloverETL Project or select File → New → Project... and do what has been described above. You can also right-click inside the Navigator pane and select either directly New → CloverETL Project or New → Project... from the context menu and do what has been described above.

When creating a pure ETL graph, mind these two options in the File → New menu:

- Jobflow - creates a `*.jbf` file similar to an ETL graph. You can fill it with Job Control components. These are meant for executing, monitoring and aborting other graphs and complex workflows. Further reading also at Common Properties of Job Control.

- Profiler Job - creates a new `*.cpj` file that lets you perform statistical analyses of your data. See the ProfilerProbe component.
