Overview

The Clear platform has a very simple and flexible architecture that centers around the concept of subdomains.

Subdomains

A subdomain is a unique set of ClearWork and ClearProcess configuration. Most customers will have 3 subdomains to match the environments of their software systems. An example set of subdomains might include:

company-dev.clearui.com

This is where you would configure and test ClearWork and ClearProcess against your development systems.

company-qas.clearui.com

This is where your users would perform User Acceptance Testing and receive training.

company.clearui.com

This is where your users would perform their daily workflows against your production systems.

ClearWork

Within a subdomain, the process orchestration is accomplished through Pages and Users:

Pages

The web pages where users execute their workflows.

Users

The authorized users who can access the Clear platform.

ClearProcess

Within a subdomain, the automation of tasks is accomplished through Systems and APIs:

Systems

The software systems that are communicating with Clear APIs.

APIs

The REST-based automations that can span multiple systems.

APQC Process Classification Framework

The Clear platform maps to the APQC’s Process Classification Framework as follows:

Level 1 Category – a module in ClearWork
Level 2 Process Group – a module or a page in ClearWork
Level 3 Process – a page or action in ClearWork or an API in ClearProcess
