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)

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

Intermediate/Boundary Event Timer                                                                                               

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

Gateway                                                                                                                                               

Allows you to create and use Gateways.

Task

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

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

DataStoreReference

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.
