Building Process Flow Diagrams

Using the Diagram Workspace Pop-up Menu

You can use the Diagram Workspace pop-up menus to perform many tasks. To open the pop-up menu, right-click in an open area of the Diagram Workspace. (Note that you can also perform many of these tasks by using the pull-down menus.) The pop-up menu contains the following items:

Add node -- accesses the Add Node window.
Add endpoints -- adds enter and exit endpoints to a subdiagram.
Paste -- pastes a node from the clipboard to the Diagram Workspace.
Undelete -- undeletes the last deleted node.
Delete -- deletes the selected node.
Select All -- selects all nodes in the process flow diagram.
Create subdiagram -- creates a subdiagram (see Subdiagrams). To create a subdiagram, you must first select the nodes and connections that are to be included in the subdiagram.
Refresh -- refreshes the image that is displayed in the Enterprise Miner window.
Up one level -- collapses a subdiagram.
Top level -- moves to the top level of the process flow diagram. At the top level, all subdiagrams are condensed.
Connect items -- a mode of editing in which node icons are fixed in one location so that it is easier to connect nodes.
Move items -- a mode of editing in which node icons cannot be connected so that it is easier to move nodes.
Move and connect -- the default mode of editing in which node icons can be moved and connected.
