Chapter 3 Projects and Framework Matrices

Example: Specifying a Diagram action

The Diagram action lets a framework matrix user (add or) create one or more diagrams of the specified kind in the cell. The diagram will be displayed in the Browser under an existing or new model node and as a diagram in the cell to which it has been attached.

In the following example, we will specify an action that enables the user to create exactly one BPM process hierarchy diagram from a previously defined template.

Steps To enable the creation of exactly one BPM process hierarchy diagram:

  1. Double-click a framework matrix cell to open its property sheet, and click the Actions tab.
  2. Click the Add a Row tool to create a new action, and double-click it to open its property sheet.
  3. On the General tab, enter "Process high level view " in the Name field.
  4. Clear the Multiple check box to specify that exactly one BPM process hierarchy diagram can be attached to the cell.
  5. Click the Detail tab, and specify the following properties in the fields (see Framework matrix action property sheet Detail tab):
    Property Select or enter
    Type Diagram
    Default document name PHD
    Model type Business Process Model
    Document template Click the Ellipsis button to select the Orders.bpm template.

    For information about creating model templates see "Model templates" in the Models chapter.

  6. Click OK to close the action and cell property sheets and return to the framework matrix.

    The Diagram action is now available for use by framework matrix users (see Attaching a document to a framework matrix cell).
