Business processes can be developed by simple relationship definitions, using arrows to link icons indicating parties responsible for operations processing. This not only enables initial development, but also facilitates process changes due to personnel and operational changes.
Groupmax Workflow can also be used for non-standard activities, which cannot be specified in business process definitions.
Consultation functionality enables issues that cannot be decided by only one individual to be sent to any member for a response.
Send-back functionality enables issues with errors to be sent back to the sender. Withdrawal functionality enables issues with mistakes detected after being sent to be withdrawn.
Transfer functionality enables issue processing to be requested of another responsible party.

XML is an open format for data, and is increasingly the format of choice for exchanging information between enterprise transaction systems, because of its compatibility with other systems and ease of reuse. XSL data can then be used to check report contents, and increase readability.
