Export business processes to LCS

You can export a business process hierarchy to a business process library in LCS.

On export to LCS, you can choose to export:

The full business process hierarchy.
Only a selected part of the business process hierarchy.
Only the business processes with a specific category.

The business process library in LCS is structured based on the business process hierarchy and the flow activities, as set up in RapidValue. If a task guide is linked to a flow activity, this task guide is uploaded as well.

When you export business processes to LCS, these rules are applied:

Only business processes that are in scope or for which the scope is not specified are published to LCS.
Each time you export to LCS, a new business process library is created. So, existing business process libraries stay unchanged.
If a flow is assigned to a business process, the flow activities are also published to LCS.
If both a flow and a procedure activity are assigned to a business process, only the procedure activity is published.
If you have several flows defined for a business process, only the assigned flow is published to LCS.
You can have a flow assigned to several business processes or used as sub-flow in several flows. Such a flow is only published once to LCS.
For each activity, a process is created in the business process library.
If a task guide is linked to the activity, the task guide is uploaded to the business process library process for the activity. Note: A task guide is only uploaded to LCS if the recorded entities are available in the current D365 FO environment.
