Model flows

Define flows

Define the flows that are related to the business processes in the business process hierarchy. A flow is a detailed description of how to do a process.

Design flows

Design a flow to define:

• The sequence of activities and processes.
• The decision points and alternative paths in the process.
• Which role is responsible for which part of the flow.

Each flow is related to a process. The process type defines the flow design options:

• Process: You can design a process flow with activities, lanes, sub-processes, gateways, events, and connect these objects in the sequence to be done.
• Value chain, Phase, Process group, Supporting process: Additional to the design of a Process type flow, you can add business processes from the hierarchy to the flow design.

Notes

This flow represents the usual sequence in which the process flows are designed. If required, you can of course design the flow in another sequence.

Define activities

Create activities and define the steps that are required to do the activity.

Compare flows

You can make a visual comparison between any two flows. For example, if a flow was created based on another flow you may want to view your changes compared to the original flow. You can also compare to other flows in the same process or library.
