Raising a process from within Models

You can start a process such as raising and Request for Information or Variation from with Models. This speeds up your work as you can create and send processes without leaving Models.

You can create a process from an object that gets added automatically to the RFI mail. This speeds up the process as you can do all this from within Models. Aside from not leaving Models, the process is the same as creating a process in the Mail module.
