Setup > Interactive dashboard > Processes 

A process is a graphic explaining the sequence of functions SAFE X3 and integrating links of type tunnel toward these functions.

This feature allows you, by using a visual editor, to describe this process.

It must then attach this process to a thumbnail of the portal or well to a process menu (browser to process).

Page / See the limits

Allows you to view the limits of the process by using a framework.

Page / Resize

Handles appear around the framework of the process limits. This allows you to modify the framework size.

Element / Associate a link

One graphic object at least must be selected. Then, different links are possible:

- other process
- URL ( Link to a site in the current window or in a new one)
- ERP function (function code, transaction code and key of the record if the function is an object)
- Report (crystal report)
- BO report
- query
- statistics
- inquiry
- ERP help (help to a function or a field)

Element / Associate an action

Use the Actions icon instead. All the objects are numbered. Then assign the following action types:

- display as a mini menu. The object 1 displays 5 as a mini menu. The object 5 appears when clicking on the object 1.
- Lock / unlock the mini menus. The object 10 locks or unlocks all mini menus. When clicking on the object 10, all mini menus appear or disappear.

- Show as tooltip. Allows you to display an object in an 'info bubble'.

- Show / hide. 20 show or hide 15. If you click on the object 20, the object 15 is displayed, or hidden.

Note: action number. The verb must be conjugated.

Example: 1 Show as a mini menu 2--> THE object 1 if selected, shows the mini menu 2.
