Naming a process instance

Hi,
When we start a process instance in the activiti-explorer, is there a way by which I can associate some name or tag to that instance?
Currently, when a user starts an instance, there does not seem to be a way to indicate why that instance was started or for what purpose.
I have a requirements where such data needs to be captured alongside the instance. How can approach this problem?
Additonally, there could be some notes about the instance that might be useful for anyone working on any task associated with that process instance, would be handy. If such support is built, that would help too!
Thanks.

Hi,

use process variable for that purpose. (With API call you can specify business key)
