Designing a procedure with W4 Suite involves:

• Modelling a work process as a sequence of elementary tasks and defining each task, i.e. who will do it, what related data are required, what output data are provided, what are the deadlines.
  
• Defining the HTML pages to accommodate the participants and to enable them to perform the tasks to be completed.

The first step is a matter of understanding the company, its organisation and its work processes.

The visual paradigm used by W4 BPM Suite for describing a procedure is a natural one and is easy to use for any specialist in matters of enterprise organisation. Designing and modelling a procedure with W4 Studio can be easily accomplished by anyone familiar with the usual productivity tools, such as word processors or spreadsheets.

The design of the HTML pages can be implemented with any off-the-shelf HTML editor. The designed static pages become dynamic by inserting textual references to workflow objects, such as variables, documents, task lists, etc.
