Using the Process Tree

The process elements (activities, data objects, statuses, policies, and participants) for the process definition open in the diagram editor are accessible from the process tree. The tree uses a familiar hierarchical folder structure to organize the elements by type and associated activity. You can click on a folder to open it, view the contents and access the attributes for each object.

The process folder contains top-level folders for data objects, statuses, policies, participants, and all of the associated activities. Each activity folder can contain local definitions for each of these object types. Whenever you create or edit an object, you have the option to make it available globally (in the subtree) or not.

In the process tree, you can right-click on a folder and then select New to create the relevant object based on the folder selected. You can also edit or delete existing elements using pop-up menus.
