Process Diagrams view

The Process Diagrams view displays process diagrams and process instance diagrams that visually illustrate the work flow of a business process.

This view requires a business measures model that contains one or more modeled processes. A compatible SVG viewer to view diagrams in the Process Diagrams view must be installed.

A process model is a representation of the business processes occurring at runtime. If the process model contains subprocesses, you can drill down to view the underlying items.

The Process Diagrams view displays diagrams of top-level processes. Objects within a process diagram include tasks, processes, connections, business items, and decisions. The numbers of ready and running instances of the processes are annotated on the displayed diagram.

You can also have the activities of a process instance highlighted. For this, you have to establish a wiring connection between the Process Diagrams view and another view that displays process instances. When an instance is selected from a source view, the Process Diagrams view identifies the process instance activities, whose states are ready, running, or completed, and marks them with a red frame. Valid wires are from the Alerts view to the Process Diagrams view, and from the Active Instances view to the Process Diagrams view.

When you create a wiring connection from the Active Instances view to the Process Diagrams view, the Process Diagrams view displays the diagram of the process instance that you select in the Active Instances view. The same action applies to the wire from the Alerts view to the Process Diagrams view. The displayed process instance diagram in the Process Diagrams view, is updated based on the alert you select from the Alerts view, when the alert is associated with a process instance. If the alert is associated with an activity instance, the Process Diagrams view displays the diagram of the process instance containing this activity instance.

Using administration privileges, you must configure the Process Diagrams view by selecting both a business measures model and a process whose diagram is to be displayed. After the view is configured, the process diagram is displayed, and you can see the diagram details. You can also drill down the subprocess objects in the diagram to see their diagrams.

The Process Diagrams view does not support an edit mode. This view can only be configured by the Administrator, but cannot be personalized.
