-
AnalysisIntegrated calculation functions help you see the impact of improvements and suggestions in your processes. Show/Hide® and SwitchView® functionality allow you to create different views of the process.

FindingsIn Findings, improvement ideas or issues are logged and submitted as a task in Teamboard, prompting teams to take further action.
-
Import
Engage Process allows for import of BPMN2.0 based process maps created by other applications like BPMOne, MS Visio and others. After import these can be further enriched and improved in Engage Process. The import function helps at onboarding Engage Process without process mapping work from the past getting lost.
-
(Intuitive) IconsIn Engage Process, process maps read like an illustrated book. No squares and triangles but self-explanatory icons that make the process instantly clear to all involved staff, without the need for special training.
-
Process MappingThe Syntax Engine of Engage Process allows you to build processes by simple “drag & drop”. More complicated aspects like choices, parallels, sub-processes, waiting moments and others are mapped on the fly, providing real-time updates and changes to support interactive workshops. The Syntax also helps to identify critical process errors, such as un-defined process loops.
-
ReportsThe powerful reporting function is where tables, processes and process steps are combined to provide information overviews. Instantly create reports from your process input and monitor everything from compliance and process improvement to GDPR registers and more.
-
UploadAttach documents to a process step for further explanation and instruction, linking additional detail to maintain and access in one place.
-
Version ControlMapping a process often goes through multiple iterations. Keeping old versions can be important to see how modelling your processes evolves and maintain a record of changes.
-
Properties (Tables)
A key strength of Engage Process is the ability to enrich each process step with countless customizable properties such as role, cost, duration, waiting time, systems used, GDPR and many more. Tables are for data management where data sets and related information is centrally set up and managed.
Viewer: The Viewer is the read-only tool, or digital handbook, of Engage Process. This allows you to see finalised processes in detail.
The Feedback function allows you to review and comment on works in progress.
-
ApprovalThis function formalises approvals to publish final versions of processes that are aligned with your organisation's guidelines and policies.
-
ExportsThe export function helps you to export or transfer your process maps to other systems, or print them via Visio, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF.
-
FeedbackContinuous Improvement and People Driven Change are supported by the Feedback function of the Viewer. This function allows all stakeholders to provide feedback on processes or process steps, compiling input in one place.
-
HandbookAn extensive operational Handbook is created by publishing processes from the Modeler to the Viewer. Work-instructions, details and hyperlinks to your IT environment are all included. The OneStepView® function allows employees to see all relevant details in context of the value stream.
-
Share ProcessesAll stakeholders involved in a process should be able to review and comment on the process map. The Engage Process Viewer allows you to share processes with team members across the organisation (and outside the organisation) and collect feedback.
-
Show/HideChoose the level of detail you wish to see when working with the Modeler or when reviewing a process in the Viewer. Hide the more in-depth details from view in order to get the big picture without losing the information in the background. From here, you can activate the analysis function to easily recognise bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
-
SwimlanesEvery property you define for a process step creates its own swim lane view. It helps to evaluate and understand your process. View processes highlighted by role, system, department, business location, country, or more.
