===== Explanation of subprocesses =====
A subprocess is a modelled process wich is started by a so called main process.\\
Said main process is paused while the sub-process is unfinished. Thus it makes sense to outsurce complex but coherent tasks, wich must be finished for the process to proceed into a subprocess.\\
=== Model ===
A sub process must be modelled before it can be used. You have to [[en:software:igrafx_documentation| create]] a new process, which depicts the sub process.
=== Integration into a process ===
As soon the sub process is modelled, it must be deployed. Then you have to drag&drop a "collapsed sub-process" to the place in which the sub process should start. Name it like the pool of the sub process was named. Afterwards deploy the main process.

===Interchange variables between main and sub processes===
Variables, Notes or documents can be interchanged between main and sub processes.
