Define New Process

Import XPDL files exported from Bizagi Modeler ®. The XPDL file can contain more that one process in different Pools.

Sub Process Restriction A process can have N levels of sub processes. The only restriction is that the name of the sub process task must comply with the following rules: 1) Reusable Subprocess --> the subprocess node name must be equal to the XPDLWorkflow name. 2) Embedded Subprocess --> the subprocess node name must be equal to the subprocess sheet name. To keep this simple it is recommended to have the Subprocess node name, the subprocess sheet name and the XPDLWorkflow name with the same name. But compliyng with above rules is enough.

Subprocess Task and sheet with the same name

Subprocess Sheet and Process with the same name
