Creating call activities and resources in BPMN diagrams
Call activities are references to global processes or tasks
that can be referenced by the current BPMN diagram. A resource can
be assigned to a lane and can have a role or elements associated with
the resource.
- Creating call activities in BPMN diagrams
A call activity represents a reusable subprocess. A global task or other process or diagram can be referenced by the call activity to be used in the call activity process. - Creating resources for BPMN diagrams
You create a resource to specify the resources that activities can reference. Multiple activities can use the same resource. Every resource can define a set of resource parameters. For example, a task may have a resource with role defined as a human performer who would carry out that particular task. You can also use these parameters at run time to define a query. Every activity that references a parameterized resource can bind values in the scope of the activity to these parameters. - Assign lane partition elements to BPMN diagrams
A lane of a pool can have a partition element assigned to the lane as well as any element in the lane. A resource assigned to the lane will also be applied to tasks and call activities within the lane. The parameters of the resource are available to be used by the tasks or call activities within the lane. If the call activity or tasks have a resource currently assigned to it, you will be prompted when adding a resource to the lane that the new resource will replace any previously assigned resource to the lane elements. - Assigning resource roles to elements in BPMN diagrams
You can associate a resource with tasks and call activities. The element can use the resource parameters to run queries on those parameters. The resource can also assign a role to the task or call activity. - Creating subprocesses and artifact links in BPMN diagrams
A subprocess is an BPMN activity that can contain activities, gateways, events, and sequence flows. Specialized types of subprocesses exist such as an ad hoc subprocess, which is a group of activities that do not have sequence relationships. A subprocess can be linked to an artifact such as a use case. - Creating multiple instances for pools and activities in BPMN diagrams
You can create multiple instances for pools and activities, including choreography activities to allow you to create loops that can run in parallel or in sequence in a BPMN diagram. - Using tags in BPMN diagrams
You can export model elements in BPMN diagrams based on the tags that are associated with elements. You can tag elements to focus on a smaller subset of a complex model that you can import and export into your workspace. - Importing and exporting BPMN diagrams
Importing and exporting BPMN models is similar to importing and exporting other diagrams, but you can also choose which elements to include in the export process based on element tags.
