Create solution

You can create a solution for:

  • A typical target company for your software solution. You can use such a solution to model and describe your software solution.
  • Implementation purposes, where the solution reflects the processes of the company it is created for.

You can create a blank solution or create a solution based on an existing solution. If you create a solution based on an existing one, you can make a full copy of the existing solution or only use specific elements of the existing solution.
