Standard, this feature defines a looping behavior based on a Boolean condition. Multi-instance, the multi-instance attribute of sub-processes allows the creation of a desired number of activity instances. Sub-Process type -> Reusable Sub-ProcessĪdditionally you can define the Loop Type of your process from these three options:. Once you have created an embedded sub-process, you can change its type to any of the following options: If you want to change your sub-process to an embedded one, right click the sub-process and select Sub-Process type -> Sub-Process By default sub-processes are created as reusable but you can change the sub-process type anytime. Just drag and drop the elements as needed and place them where appropriate.īPMN defines several types of sub-process that respond to particular business needs. On this page you can diagram the associated sub-process, just the way we diagrammed the first process. This will automatically open a new diagram page to include the sub-process information. Right-click on the sub-process element and select the Edit Sub-process from the display menu.ģ. Once the Task has been converted to a sub-process it is necessary to define its related diagram. To transform the Task, (in this case Quotations), to a sub-process element, right-click on it and select Transform to sub-process from the display menu.Ģ.
In the previous section we defined a task called “Quotations”, if you have not already created it as a sub-process (as we now realize that this task contains many activities) we need to transform the diagram element and define the sub-process flow.ġ. Compound means that it can be broken down into lower levels, that is each level includes shapes and elements within it.
A sub-process is a compound activity that is included within a process.
