Business Processes by Project Model (tgbrg4560m000)

Use this session to build a business-process model by importing business processes from the repository. These business processes were initially created in the Business Processes (tgbrg5500m000) session.

Start the Business Processes by Project Model (tgbrg4160s000) session to display and maintain the business-process details.

 

Optimization Phases

The value of this field depends on the selection you make in the Optimization Phases by Project Model (tgbrg4530m000) session. The selection serves as a filter for the number of business processes that are displayed in the current session.

Only those business processes are shown that are linked to the selected optimization phase or are not linked to any optimization phase at all.

Note

If you set all optimization phases as current, all available business processes are shown.

Use the Optimization Phases by Business Process (tgbrg4140m000) session to maintain phases by business processes.

Example
Business processOptimization phase
A, B1
A, B, and C2
A, D3

 

Based on this combination of business processes and optimization phases, the consequences for the current session are: If the value of the current field is 1, only business processes A and B are listed in the current session.

If the value of the current field is all, business processes A, B, C, and D are listed.

Current Modeling Version

The version you currently use to create and modify model items.

Model Type

No Help topic is associated with this item.

Project Model

A model that represents a specific organization.

A project model is built from a library (repository) of the following model items:

  • business-control model
  • business-function model
  • business-process model
Description

The description or name of the project model.

Version

A group of model items that share some characteristics, such as the customer, owner, and effective date.

Description

The description or name of the version.

Sequence

A number that determines the sequence in which records are displayed in an overview session or list box.

Note

If a business process is added to a business model, the sequence number is automatically increased by one. This value can be overwritten.

Use the Expand Process Structure command and the Collapse Process Structure command to number the business processes in such a way that they indicate which subprocesses belong to which (main) process. For example, the subprocesses of (main) process 10 are numbered 11, 12, 13 ,and so on.

Business Process

A set of one or more activities and states that collectively realize a business objective.

Subprocess

If this check box is selected, the business process is a so-called nested process. This means that the process is incorporated into another process. A subprocess is not shown at the top level of the process browser.

Note

For more information, see the Activity Type field in the Business Process Activities (tgbrg5122s000) session.

Description

The description or name of the business process.
