In Bpanda, several paths lead to a process. Which one fits depends on what you know: a term, the position of the process in the process hierarchy, or just that you used it recently.
Searching
You can use the search to find processes and process elements. The search covers the names and descriptions of the processes and their elements as well as attachments and their content. The search suggests matching search terms as soon as you start typing. You can narrow down the search results using filters, for example to specific areas of responsibility (lanes). See Searching for Processes.
Navigating in the Process Hierarchy
The Home page shows the top-level Process Map of your Process Space. In the Main Menu, Processes takes you to the Process Hierarchy page. Clicking a linked element in the process map takes you one level deeper or directly to a process. You can show the tree view of the process hierarchy on the left; the breadcrumb navigation in the header takes you back up.
For what the process maps show, see Getting to Know the Process Hierarchy and Organization; for the steps, see Navigating in the Process Hierarchy.
Via Your Personal Areas
On the right of the Home page, the Relevant for Me area summarizes what concerns you: My Processes (opens the Relevant Processes page), Favorites, Last Viewed as well as, depending on your role, Current Tasks, Drafts and My Architecture Elements. Clicking an entry opens the process, clicking the heading opens the full page.
You can add any process to your Favorites on the process page and thus always reach it directly. See Managing Favorites, Opening Last Viewed Processes.
Via Notifications and Tasks
Notifications about your relevant processes and tasks, for example about a review, link directly to the process. See How You Participate.
Via the Architecture
From an architecture element, for example an application, you can get to the processes it is linked to. See Using the Architecture Dashboard.
At the Destination: the Process Page
All paths end on the Process Page with the Overview, List, Guide and Q&A tabs. For what you will find there, see Getting to Know the Process Page.
