Chapter 6 Building an Analysis Business Process Model

Opening the sub-diagram of a composite process

When you open the sub-diagram of a composite process, the diagram that contains the composite process symbol is replaced with the default sub-process diagram that displays the content of the composite process, but stays however open in the background.

You can open a composite process sub-diagram using the following methods:

• Press ctrl + double-click the composite process symbol in the diagram.
  
  or
  
  Select Open Diagram from the contextual menu of the composite process symbol in the diagram.
  
  The default sub-process diagram opens in the diagram window.

Composite view

You can also wish to only display a global view of the content of the composite process within its symbol in the diagram. To do so, right-click the composite process, and select Composite View. The composite process symbol is expanded in order to display the whole diagram content. Re-select the Composite View command to come back to the previous view.

Note that if you double click the composite view, you automatically open the sub-process diagram.

For more information about the composite view feature, see section Displaying the sub-diagram of a composite object within its symbol in chapter Model Graphics in the General Features Guide .
