4. Representation and use of the Turtle shapes

1. Drag one of the three process turtle shapes onto the drawing pad and name it (here: Turtle with potentials (risks/opportunities) and interested parties). 
   
2. Now drag (for example) the Information (turtle) shape into one of the fields and name the information or select an existing one. 
   We recommend using the shapes as follows:Area (Turtle):
   > Interested parties
   > PaticipantsInformation (Turtle):
   > Working Materials
   > Inputs/Outputs
   > Key figures
   > Potentials
   > Documents
3. Fill in all fields of the turtle model in this way.
4. If necessary, use the process owner shape to make this clearly visible in the model.
