Working with sub-process diagrams

Chapter 4 Building Business Process Diagrams

Working with sub-process diagrams

You can add objects to a sub-process diagram in the same way as you add them to a business process diagram. Each process that you add to a sub-process diagram is a part of its parent decomposed process, and is listed beneath it in the Browser.

Opening sub-process diagrams

You can open the sub-process diagram of a decomposed process in any of the following ways:

Press ctrl and double-click the decomposed process symbol.
Double-click the appropriate diagram entry in the Browser.
Right-click the diagram background and select Diagram→Go Up One Level in the contextual menu when a sub-process is decomposed into further sub-processes and therefore contains several level of sub-diagrams.

Moving from a sub-process diagram to another

You can move from a sub-process diagram to another diagram in any of the following ways:

Press ctrl + u to go to the model's default diagram.
Right-click the process and select Open Diagram in the contextual menu.
Double-click the sub-process diagram entry under the decomposed process in the Browser.

Setting a diagram as the default diagram
You can set a diagram to be the model's default diagram by selecting the Default Diagram check box in its property sheet, or by selecting the diagram in the Default Diagram list in the model property sheet.
