1.3 Flowchart Configuration and Left Menu

FLOWCHART

To view the flowchart of an existing process, click on its name in the "Name" column of the "Process Manager" section. (Figure 1)

Figure 1

Within this section, you can configure all the elements included in the diagram by clicking directly on each one. (Figure 2 and Figure 3)

N.B.: The configuration of individual elements will be covered in subsequent chapters.

To make changes to the process diagram, click the "Edit Diagram" button. (Figure 4)

The elements used to construct the process diagram can also be quickly selected through a shortcut menu that becomes available by clicking on a specific element already involved. (Figure 6)

LEFT MENU

This is a menu that can be used while editing the process diagram and includes:

• A quick selection of the main elements available for creating processes

• A set of useful functions for the easy and organized creation of process flows

Hand Tool                                                                                                                                            A useful tool for moving the view easily and efficiently.

Lasso Tool                                                                                                                                            A useful tool for moving a group of tasks/elements at the same time, making the organization and structuring of the flow easier and faster.

Create/Remove Space Tool                                                                                                                A useful tool for moving all tasks/elements at once, facilitating the easy and fast structuring of the flow.

Start Event                                                                                                                                            Allows you to select and use the Start Event.

End Event                                                                                                                                               Allows you to create and use the End Event.

Intermediate/Boundary Event Timer                                                                                                Allows you to create and use the Intermediate/Boundary Event.

Gateway                                                                                                                                                Allows you to create and use Gateways.

Task                                                                                                                                                      Allows you to create and use Tasks.

Sub Process                                                                                                                                          Allows you to create and use Sub Processes.

DataObjectReference                                                                                                                          This symbol allows for an action that is currently not yet implemented.

NOTE: As of version 24.08, it has been completely removed.

DataStoreReference                                                                                                                            This symbol allows for an action that is currently not yet implemented.

NOTE: As of version 24.08, it has been completely removed.

Pool/Participant                               

Allows you to create areas in which parts of the process flow can be inserted. New tasks/elements cannot be created or moved outside these areas. It is also possible to textually indicate the actors involved.

NOTE: As of version 24.08, it has been completely removed.
