Workflow process modelling

You can model workflows using the WorkZone Process Designer. This tool is a standard process modeling tool consisting of a toolbox with activities and flow control elements and a canvas for process modeling.

Create a new process

1. Click New proces in the toolbox ribbon.



2. Drag activities and flow control elements from the toolbox ribbon to the process canvas.
3. Connect the elements using arrows. Arrows define the flow of the process.
4. Click on an activity to configure its properties.
5. Save the modeled process as XML.
6. Pack modeled processes together with their forms as a complete process package (for more information on packages, see Configure packages).
