New Process
The modeler user from IT can design new procesess which, after being defined and published, can be used in the portal of Deyel.
In the same work space and by using concepts from BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation), it can be simply modelated in an intuitive environment:
•The process diagram with its activities, interconnections, events, time, alerts and actors involved, in a way that allows interaction with the business user and that they easily understand the process scope.
•Business rules which define the behaviour of each of the diagram elements, as well as the validations, automatic actions for sending messages and integration with other applications.
