Processes and diagrams

Diagrams are where you map and edit processes.

You can have multiple processes in the one diagram or spread them over multiple diagrams to avoid oversized processes that are difficult to read.

Tour the Design page

Before you start, it’s worthwhile getting to know the layout of the BPMN Design page. The Design page is where you map and edit processes.

1. Header:

   • Cardanit logo: click to go to the Home page.

   • Menu: Go to My Files, rename the project, and navigate to the Simulations page which lists the simulations that have been run.

   • A tab menu that gives you access to the Design, Simulation and Report pages.

   • The project name.

   • Access to version history.

   • See who the project is shared with and share the project with others.

   • View your profile.

   • Access the help section.

2. Toolbar

   Use the toolbar to access key functions. Select the icon to open the Navigation panel. The toolbar also includes options for editing the BPMN model and downloading the diagram or model screenshot.

3. Navigation panel

   The Navigation panel provides access to the Elements and Definitions tabs.

   The Elements tab contains BPMN elements alongside a Whiteboard shapes section. The Definitions tab lets you view and configure global process definitions.

4. Diagram

   This is where you create, map and edit your processes.

5. Configuration panel

   Navigate and customize your BPMN model. Use the Structure tab to explore the process structure and the Attributes tab to configure element properties.

6. View toolbar

   The View toolbar provides tools to adjust your view of the diagram. Use it to zoom in, zoom out, reset the view, or open the mini-map for easier navigation of large or complex diagrams.

7. Diagram tab bar

   Manage and switch between multiple BPMN diagrams. Add new diagrams, rename them and switch between diagrams.
