November 2022 production updates

This update introduces new features and product improvements for Infor Process Intelligence:

Process Modeler/Content Explorer

Standard content is delivered by Infor Process Catalogs, which are provisioned as main folders in the content explorer. With this version, a new feature is available that enables you to duplicate a folder and its contents, including the referenced registry entries. After creating a duplicate folder, you can move it to another location, and you can rename it so that it is easier to distinguish from the standard content.

It is advised to make a duplicate of the content you want to edit so that when Infor redeploys standard content, your changes are not overwritten.

Note that using the Copy/Paste functionality for folders does not have the same effect as Duplicate. When you copy a folder or Save a Copy of a model, only the models are copied, while keeping the references to the same registry entries. Changing a registry entry that is reused in several models applies the change to all models.

Process Modeler/BPMN Modeler and Process Map Designer

When creating a BPMN Model or a Process Map, you can provide a process name and a description at the diagram level. When you add an element to a BPMN Model or a Process Map, these elements have a name or title attribute and a description as well. With this update, the name and description attributes are linked together when you select values from a shared registry entry, as follows:

  • When you select a registry entry for the name or title attribute, the entry title and its translations are used as the value for this attribute.
  • The entry description and its translations are used as the value for the corresponding description attribute; you can no longer select a description from a different registry entry.

See the Infor Process Intelligence User Guide for details about using the Registry.

Process Modeler/Process Map Designer

The modeling experience in the Process Map Designer is improved and new features are added:

  • The Line element has additional Line Style, Begin connector type, End Connector Type attributes.
  • You can draw curved lines.
  • You can double-click a shape to add a text box.

See the Infor Process Intelligence User Guide for details about using the Process Map Designer.

Process Modeler/BPMN Modeler

Additional custom attributes are added in the BPMN Modeler at the diagram level and the Task element level. These attributes are used only in the documents generated with the Document Generation feature.

See the Infor Process Intelligence User Guide for details about using the BPMN Modeler.

Process Modeler/Document Generation

A new Document Generation feature is available for users with the IPI-ModelerDesigner or IPI-ModelerAdmin role. To generate a document, select a predefined template type and then select a folder or a model for which the document should be generated.
