Filter processes

Users can use several configurations to filter which diagrams are to be loaded.

Filter processes by diagram type

All diagram types are displayed by default:

example server diagrams

The visible diagram types can be restricted as follows:

  • Navigate to the module settings

  • Configure the "displayedDiagramTypes" property. The various diagram type keys can be entered, separated by commas.

  • The following values are permitted:

Diagram type Value for the configuration

Business Object Diagrams

constraintsdiagram

Business Process Diagrams

bpd

Organization Diagrams

organigram

Process Maps

SOA Maps

soamap

System Diagrams

  • An empty "displayedDiagramTypes" means, that no filtering takes place and all diagrams that have a suitable process role are displayed.

Filtering processes by user group

Diagrams of all users or user groups are displayed by default:

example server diagrams

The visible diagrams can be restricted as follows:

  • Navigate to the module settings

  • Enter the name of the INUBIT user group in the "userGroup" property

  • If, for example, you only want to see diagrams from the "BusinessProcessCenter" user group, configure userGroup as follows:

    example administration usergroup config
  • An empty "userGroup" means that no filtering takes place and all diagrams are displayed that have a suitable process role.

Example

Only technical workflows from the "BusinessProcessCenter" user group should be displayed.

Opening linked diagrams

The links between diagrams can be followed in the BPC Process Documentation module. Click on the link to open the target diagram directly.

Open the module information for a diagram element:

example linked modules

Then click on one of the displayed links in the module information dialog:

example linked module 2
Alternative

Switch to the "Metadata" tab. There you will find a list of all linked diagrams of the currently visible diagram. The links can be followed in the same way as described above.

Use of metadata and legend

Metadata that users have linked to diagrams or their elements in INUBIT can be displayed in the BPC Process Documentation module.

example metadata

Display a diagram and switch to the "Information" or "Metadata" tab.

Alternative

Click on the diagram element whose metadata is to be displayed. If a comment has been entered for the element, this is also displayed.

The description of the diagram is displayed in the upper area. If no description text has been entered, a corresponding message text is displayed.

The legend of the diagram is displayed in the lower area. This clearly shows all the elements used in the diagram.

Exporting process information

It is possible to export diagrams and information/metadata as a PDF.

Requirements

The file BusinessProcessCenter.usergroup.zip was imported from <inubit-Installationsverzeichnis>/inubit/server/portal/bpc_modules into the INUBIT. The zip file contains the user group "BusinessProcessCenter" with a protected workflow package, which is necessary for the export functionality.

The workflow BPC_doc_Konfiguration has been edited and the settings adapted to the current INUBIT system.

Switch to the Export tab and drag all relevant diagrams from the tree into the Export tab (drag’n’drop):

example export choose from tree

The order of the diagrams in the PDF can then be defined. To do this, move the diagrams in the Export tab by dragging them up or down (drag and drop).

example export configuration

Click on "Generate document" to start creating the PDF file. Once it has been successfully created, it can be opened or downloaded via the browser.
