Using the diagram view

The diagram view displays a drawing of a process map or a BPMN model on the Diagram tab. If the diagram you are viewing has more than one approved version, as a viewer, you see only the latest approved version. As a designer, you see the latest available version and its status: Draft or Approved. See Diagram versioning.

Click the Process Attributes tab to see a description of a business process and related documents. To be able to download documents, users must have the IDM-User security role.

For a BPMN model, these process attributes are auto-generated and shown when the applicable information is found in this BPMN model:

  • Process Trigger: a list of diagram names used in the Intermediate Link events
  • Roles: a list of role names that are used as names for the Lane elements
  • Activities: a list of all names of the Task elements

On the Diagram tab, you can also view the details of each element in the diagram. Select an element to view its attributes in the panel to the right. Deselect the element to close the panel. If the element has values for the Application Navigation attribute, these are displayed as actionable links in the attributes panel. Click a link to navigate to the application screen described by this link.

In the diagram view, you can zoom in, zoom out, and view the diagram in full screen by clicking the icons on the toolbar.
