Processes panel and sample process in Work Area To use DEM processes DEM provides you with process-based navigation through the ERP application. While the static menu browser, based on application-based navigation, logically bundles applications into folders, modules, and packages, the process-based navigation bundles these applications according to your task. As a result, rather than centralizing the application itself, the task a user must perform is centralized. A diagram shows activities in a specific order. For each task, you can create a separate Business Process. Activities can be ERP sessions, URLs, manual activities, and/or Microsoft Office applications. If you work with DEM, you are dependent on the authorization settings created by your system administrator. Your work diagram can appear entirely different from your colleague's. In the Processes panel, the list of activities, which together enumerate a complete process, contains various interactive icons. In the Work Area, a Locate button ( ) is available. 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.
