Application Examples

Filtering by Process

Users can use various configurations to filter which Diagrams should be loaded.

Filtering Processes by Diagram Type

By default, all Diagram types are displayed:

example server diagrams

The visible diagram types can be restricted as follows:

  • Navigate to the module settings

  • Configure the "displayedDiagramTypes" property. You can enter the various diagram type keys, separated by commas.

  • The following values are allowed:

Diagram Type Configuration Value

Business Object Diagrams

constraintsdiagram

Business Process Diagrams

bpd

Organization Diagrams

organigram

Process Maps

processmap

SOA Maps

soamap

System Diagrams

systemdiagram

Technical Workflows

technical

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

Filtering processes by user group

By default, diagrams for all users or user groups are displayed:

example server diagrams

The visible diagrams can be filtered as follows:

  • Navigate to the module settings

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

  • For example, if you want to see only 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 with a matching process role are displayed.

Example

Only Technical Workflows from the “BusinessProcessCenter” user group should be displayed.

Opening Linked Diagrams

Links between diagrams can be followed in the BPC Process Documentation module. Clicking the link opens the target diagram directly.

To view module information for a diagram element:

example linked modules

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

example linked module 2
Alternatively

Switch to the "Metadata" tab. There you will find a list of all linked diagrams for the currently visible diagram. Here, you can follow the links in exactly the same way as described above.

Using Metadata and the Legend

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

example metadata

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

Alternatively

Click on the diagram element whose metadata you want to view. If a comment has been entered for the element, it will also be displayed.

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

The lower section contains the Diagram’s legend. This clearly displays all elements used in the Diagram.

Exporting Process Information

You can export Diagrams and information/metadata as PDF files.

Prerequisites

The file BusinessProcessCenter.usergroup.zip was imported into INUBIT from <INUBIT-INSTALL-DIR>/inubit/server/portal/bpc_modules. The ZIP file contains the user group "BusinessProcessCenter" with a protected workflow package that is required 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-and-drop):

example export choose from tree

You can then specify the order of the Diagrams in the PDF. To do this, move the Diagrams in the Export tab by dragging them up or down (drag-and-drop).

example export configuration

Clicking “Generate Document” starts the creation of the PDF file. Once it has been successfully generated, it can be opened in your browser or downloaded.
