This page gives you short instructions on how to create, deploy, modify or delete Processes. More information about how to work with the Instances of a Process is provided in the Process Inspector getting started guide.

Processes in the Novunex Platform model your business processes. You can have multiple Processes, each Process implementing different work done in your organization. Processes consist of Activities that are linked by Connections. The Activities describe what tasks are performed in the process. The Connections define the order of execution of the Activities in a Process. The Connections are always directed. Each Process must always have one start and one end Activity.

More information on Processes is shown in this getting general reference.

       • All new Outcomes are named Default. This name can be edited by clicking on it.
       • By moving the mouse over the name of the Outcome, two buttons appear to modify the Outcome script ( ) or delete the Outcome ( ).
