dropdowns, etc.

After a workflow
model has been
designed it can be
tested from within
the process
designer. A powerful
debugging and
simulation feature
allows testing of
workflows as they
would appear in a
real production
environment. This
includes release of
user forms and
execution of agents.
Any of these can be
modified during the
simulation, without
the need to restart
the running
instance.

simulation
phases can work in a

need to be connected
to the server.
