AccuProcess Modeler provides a convenient, wizard-driven process documentation feature that facilitates process discovery and complete business process documentation. Process Discovery Video (6 mins)

Users use the process documentation wizard to describe the rules regarding their process. This includes information about triggers, workflow tasks, process participants, business rules, exception conditions, process parameters, input and output documents and general comments text area for users to write all the information that they want to document.

This ensures all aspects of documenting a process are covered and the user has not missed some important element of information. This ensures completeness and accuracy for the modeled business process.

Documenting a Business Process in AccuProcess

• Business users and process participants are interviewed to collect the information about what are all the steps in the process.
• Process flow is designed in the modeling tool.
• Details about each of the process activities are also identified and documented in the modeling tool, such as: Names of all process participants, what are the inputs to that activity, outputs of the activity, what applications and systems are accessed, any business rules that are applied, what are the possible errors, how are the errors handled, how long does it take to execute that step etc.
• Decision nodes in the process model are identified and routing rules are documented.
• Free form text can be copied and pasted from other documents into the Comments area to capture any and all information related to the process model.
• All this information is entered into the process modeling tool to create a view of “as-is” process

Self Documentation

AccuProcess Modeler provides self documentation capability that allows the full business process documentation of the modeled process to be auto generated into a Microsoft Word or PDF document. This creates auditable documentation of the process, including a detailed description of the process design. While the Word file is obviously editable, the PDF file can be used for sharing, reviews, approvals and for archival. This also helps in compliance with industry and government regulations. Process maps can also be exported in image format to allow printing for posters or on multiple pages.
