SmartProcess is divided into three main areas.

1 - Main menu
The main menu contains quick links to the most important areas of SmartProcess (e.g. Processes, Cases, Reporting) as well as links to the workflow applications the user has access to.
The main menu can be flexibly adapted to the user's own needs.
2 - Application header
The application header is always visible regardless of the selected menu and contains the following elements:
Product logo ![]() | The logo can be changed application-wide in the Application header - logo and color setting. |
