| Using the DEM processes |  |
| DEM offers process-based navigation through the ERP application. The static Menu Browser, on the other hand, is based on application-based navigation, which logically bundles applications into folders, modules, and packages. Process-based navigation bundles these applications into Business Processes that are modeled to perform a specific task. As a result, rather than centralizing the application itself, the task that a user must perform is centralized. A Business Process creates activities in a specific order. For each task, the user can create a separate Business Process. Note that activities can be ERP sessions, but also, for example, URLs, manual activities and/or Microsoft Word. Based on your role and authorizations, the Processes panel might be available to you, but not to your colleagues. For DEM processes, the shortcut menu also includes Zoom In/ Zoom Out, Actual Size, and Locate functionality. Note A DEM activity can start an application on your client PC, for example MS Word. However, this only works if your PC has an MS Windows operating system.
