Get to Know the App with our Demo Space

 We recommend to use and customize existing process types, processes and sub processes provided by the already configured demo space.

In the Initialize and Restore chapter, you can learn more about how to start creating the demo space immediately.

Alternatively, you can create a new process management system from scratch.

Create your Demo Space

The demo space provides you a predesigned process management system according to the ISO 9001 with process types, an example process and sub processes.

It also showcases how the macros of the Process Management app can be used.

Read more about instructions how to create a demo space, how to install and configure the Process Management Suite for Confluence in our Administrator's Guide.




The Architecture of the App 

Use the app to visualize the structure of your Quality Management System (QMS) in the form of a wiki page or the Information Security Management System (ISMS) within your company. 

Note: Create process types before creating processes and sub processes.


Create New Processes by Using our Supplied Blueprints

The app provides predefined blueprints for simplified creation of a process management system using global Metadata sets and fields.
