General characteristics of this modeler are specified below.
New Process
The modeler user can design new procesess which, after being defined and published, can be used both by applications modeled in Deyel and by any other application.

•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 behavior of each of the diagram elements, as well as the validations, automatic actions for sending messages and integration with other applications.
