When **choosing a process management tool**, the three pillars that matter most are: how complete the **BPMS** is, how flexible the data-capture **Forms** are, and how granular the per-user **Security** controls are. **Jestor** delivers all three inside the same platform.

### Why Are These Three Pillars So Important?

A tool can have a beautiful interface and still fail in practice if a form doesn't capture the right data, or if any user can see sensitive information from another department. These details only show up once the process is already in production.

### What to Check Before Choosing the Tool?

- Whether the BPMS allows custom phases, checklists, and rules for the company's process.
- Whether forms support conditional fields, without showing questions that don't apply to the case.
- Whether security is granular by field, action, and role — not just "user can or can't log in."
- Whether you can simulate the process before rolling it out to the whole team.

### How Does Jestor Meet These Criteria?

- The **BPMS** organizes the process into custom phases, with checklists and owners for each step.
- **Forms** support conditional fields and are linked directly to the process's records and cards.
- Jestor's **Security** allows granular permissions by role, field, and action — including advanced control by branch or specific department.

| Pillar       | Question to ask                                |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **BPMS**     | Can the process have its own phases and rules? |
| **Forms**    | Does the form adapt to the card's context?     |
| **Security** | Can you restrict by field, not just by screen? |

### Frequently Asked Questions

To hide or show questions depending on context, avoiding a long, confusing form for whoever fills it in.
