Design the Data Model

The first step when designing an AgilePoint BPMS application is designing the data model. The data model is the key component to connect system to system, system to human, and human to human in the process.

The data model is defined by the XML schema, and it determines the metadata for the process. The data model is reflected in the form, in the rules, and in the process integration.

AgilePoint's XML-based metadata model is an excellent starting point because it is a strong data model with few limitations.
