Navigating in the Process Space

A process map allows you to access the process structure in the process space. An element in the process map can be linked to a subordinate level or another process. You can use your 'Favorites' to directly access individual processes.

Where Can You Navigate To?

You can access processes in the process space both via the search and the process map. You can access the process map from the start page or in the main menu.

The process map gives you an overview of which processes you can access in the process space and their structure. The process map shows you the structure of the process space so you can easily navigate in it. It consists of various levels in the process map and links to processes in the process space. The process page contains information about a process.

You can also use the boxes on the start page for quick access to your processes, reviews and favorites.

What Does the Process Map Show?

Processes map the flow of a certain lane. Process maps show how an organization's processes are structured and linked with one another, i.e. how they are assigned to various lanes and the time sequence in which they occur.

These processes are normally broken down into management processes (strategy, management, finances, controlling, safety at work), key processes (product development, marketing, sales) and supporting processes (accounting, HR, quality management, infrastructure, communication etc.).
