+Job creation based on parameterized processes
+===============================================
+
+The openEO API supports parameterized processes out of the box,
+which allows to work with flexible, reusable openEO building blocks
+in the form of :ref:`user-defined processes <user-defined-processes>`
+or `remote openEO process definitions <https://github.com/Open-EO/openeo-api/tree/draft/extensions/remote-process-definition>`_.
+This can also be leveraged for job creation in the context of the
+:py:class:`~openeo.extra.job_management.MultiBackendJobManager`:
+define a "template" job as a parameterized process
+and let the job manager fill in the parameters
+from a given data frame.
+
+The :py:class:`~openeo.extra.job_management.ProcessBasedJobCreator` helper class
+allows to do exactly that.
+Given a reference to a parameterized process,
+such as a user-defined process or remote process definition,
+it can be used directly as ``start_job`` callable to
+:py:meth:`~openeo.extra.job_management.MultiBackendJobManager.run_jobs`
+which will fill in the process parameters from the dataframe.
+
+Basic :py:class:`~openeo.extra.job_management.ProcessBasedJobCreator` example
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Basic usage example with a remote process definition:

+    from openeo.extra.job_management import (
+        MultiBackendJobManager,
+        create_job_db,
+        ProcessBasedJobCreator,
+    )
+
+    # Job creator, based on a parameterized openEO process
+    # (specified by the remote process definition at given URL)
+    # which has parameters "start_date" and "bands" for example.
+    job_starter = ProcessBasedJobCreator(
+        namespace="https://example.com/my_process.json",
+        parameter_defaults={
+            "bands": ["B02", "B03"],
+        },
+    )
+
+    # Initialize job database from a dataframe,
+    # with desired parameter values to fill in.
+    df = pd.DataFrame({
+        "start_date": ["2021-01-01", "2021-02-01", "2021-03-01"],
+    })
+    job_db = create_job_db("jobs.csv").initialize_from_df(df)
+
+    # Create and run job manager,
+    # which will start a job for each of the `start_date` values in the dataframe
+    # and use the default band list ["B02", "B03"] for the "bands" parameter.
+    job_manager = MultiBackendJobManager(...)
+    job_manager.run_jobs(job_db=job_db, start_job=job_starter)
+
+In this example, a :py:class:`ProcessBasedJobCreator` is instantiated
+based on a remote process definition,
+which has parameters ``start_date`` and ``bands``.
+When passed to :py:meth:`~openeo.extra.job_management.MultiBackendJobManager.run_jobs`,
+a job for each row in the dataframe will be created,
+with parameter values based on matching columns in the dataframe:
+
+-   the ``start_date`` parameter will be filled in
+    with the values from the "start_date" column of the dataframe,
+-   the ``bands`` parameter has no corresponding column in the dataframe,
+    and will get its value from the default specified in the ``parameter_defaults`` argument.
+
+
+:py:class:`~openeo.extra.job_management.ProcessBasedJobCreator` with geometry handling
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Apart from the intuitive name-based parameter-column linking,
+:py:class:`~openeo.extra.job_management.ProcessBasedJobCreator`
+also automatically links:
+
+-   a process parameters that accepts inline GeoJSON geometries/features
+    (which practically means it has a schema like ``{"type": "object", "subtype": "geojson"}``,
+    as produced by :py:meth:`Parameter.geojson <openeo.api.process.Parameter.geojson>`).
+-   with the geometry column in a `GeoPandas <https://geopandas.org/>`_ dataframe.
+
+even if the name of the parameter does not exactly match
+the name of the GeoPandas geometry column (``geometry`` by default).
+This automatic liking is only done if there is only one
+GeoJSON parameter and one geometry column in the dataframe.
+
+
+.. admonition:: to do
+
+        Add example with geometry handling.
