The Q-flow business process designer allows users to:
- Design processes in a detailed and intuitive manner.
- Describe the process by assigning properties to the steps and relating them in order to form a sequence.
- Define application data and its scope within the process.
- Define roles and their participation within the process.
- Define a hierarchal structure to organize information about the workflows.
- Define domains. Each application data is associated to a domain, which determines how the web site will show the application data, as well as their data types (text, number, date, etc) and the possible values they may adopt.
- Associate personalized forms to each step of the process and to the page that shows process information. These forms are ASP .Net pages. If personalized forms are not specified, Q-form automatically generates a form that shows the user’s information.
- Define actions that are carried out when some event during the execution of a workflow is produced (for example, when an error in the workflow occurs or when the workflow changes its status)
- Design and use worklets. A worklets is a group of steps within a process model, grouped in such a way that they can be used as a unit in several processes. This allows a group of steps in a process model to be grouped into a worklet so that they can be reused in other process models.
- Define operations to interact with existing systems. These operations can be reused in the design of various processes without depending on technically advanced knowledge of how to interact with these systems
