The basis of every app is a process. You will now help Jane Marple to model the idea management process.

Double click the app project Idea Management to open it.

An app project is always created including several default elements. These are now displayed in the Project Editor.

  • Open the Reference model by double click or using the context menu Options > Open which opens by right click on the element itself.

The basis of every app is a process. Therefore, the Reference model of the app already contains a simple process in three steps:

  • Process starts
  • Step 1 (with Form step 1)
  • Process ends

In the reference model, you will now model the idea management process.

In the Sidebar New Elements you can find all available EPC elements.

To create a new element, drag & drop it from the sidebar to the work area.

Refer to BPaaS Guide > Creating New EPC Elements to learn more about the creation of EPC elements and how to use them.

Connect elements by dragging the indicator of the start element to the target element.

Refer to BPaaS Guide > Connecting EPC Elements to learn more about connecting elements.

Click on an element to activate it.

In the Edit Sidebar on the right side of the workspace you can then change the settings of the active element, for example rename the element.

The ACME process to submit ideas should contain the following process steps:

  • Event Process starts

  • Function Check idea with Responsive Form Idea Check
  • Function Inform employee with E-mail Information Mail
  • Function Realize idea with Responsive Form Congratulations
  • Function Display summary with Responsive Form Summary
  • Event Process ends

Configuring the Email Element

  • Enter a Subject for the email.
  • In field Recipients enter your own email address.

To enter a text for the email, click on the gear wheel Content Template.

You have finished your process model. In the next step, you will have to design the forms.
