What does a Process Model primarily define in Appian?

A Process Model primarily defines the sequence of tasks and the flow of data in an Appian application. It serves as a blueprint for how tasks are executed within a given process, outlining the steps that need to be taken, how they connect, and how data moves between these steps.

By creating a process model, users can visually represent the workflow, which allows for better understanding and management of processes. This includes defining the order in which tasks are performed, which paths to take based on conditions, and how data is passed along through different stages in the process. This management of activities, tasks, and decision points is crucial for ensuring smooth and efficient process execution.

While aspects such as interface design, security permissions, and data types are important components of an Appian application, they fall outside the primary scope of what a Process Model is intended to illustrate. The focus of a Process Model is specifically on the operational workflow rather than the supporting structures around it.
