Improved diagrams presentation (process tree)

Diagrams overview: Change diagrams position to order it like you want

May be a hiearchical tree view for diagrams :

Main process (diagram)

|_ Sub process 1

|_ Sub-process 2

|_ Sub-process 2.1

Dear Users,

Improvements and enhanced configuration options for the available diagrams in a bpm file are to be considered under this same improvement idea.

We do clarify that it is currently possible to manually re-order diagrams by dragging and dropping them at the desired position.

Best regards,

Hi!Maybe I missed something (re-scanned the manual for this) but I cannot get this drag and drop feature to work in the diagram browser. It works in the diagram tabs, but only while they are opened and re-ordering there is not reflected in the browser window.Beste regards,Gerard Mengerink

Dear Gerard,

You are right.

I did mean that reordering was possible for the diagram tabs browsing at the bottom part.

Best regards,

It would be useful as well to reference diagrams in other bpm files, as I have noticed that when you get a large number of complex diagrams in the one file, bizagi chews a lot of memory (800mb+). If you could reference diagrams in other files via clickable link it would make it easier to manage.

I think looking at something like a Functional Decomposition Diagram would be awesome. This is what we used in our Data Flow Diagrams (UML).

But it would work really great with processes in especially large projects. So you would effectively be able to Drill Down / Roll up a Functional Decoposition Diagram - that when you click on the Processes it displays, will take you to the actual BPM diagram.

Is there any updates regarding this feature? I believe that this feature is necessary as right now we already have hundreds of process which it would be great if once we have published it, we have the opportunity to connect each process like:

PROCESS1

|

---- Sub Process1

---- Sub Process2

---- Sub Process3

|

PROCESS2

|

---- Sub Process4

---- Sub Process5

So all in all we have 6 processes that hopefully can be presented once we publish it in the web, exactly like this.

Hope this can be implemented this one the soonest :(

Another usefull feature might be to have a WHERE USED or CALLED BY list, allowing to see in which diagrams a reusable sub process is being called. This allows you to see what the impact might be of removing or changing a reusable sub process or can ease in changing the name of the called reusable sub process in all diagrams.

Process Navigator that scales is very very important. The current Tab UI for process diagrams does not scale for large process sets.

I wish there was some more development on this topic. When modeling business processes for our customers we need many diagrams. And the current UI gets confusing very fast (starting with 10 diagrams already). If there was a project tree things would have been so much better.

I agree that a tree view is needed.

Navigating processes with multiple diagrams (embeded in multiple levels) is very confusing for our clients as it is now.

I agree that a tree view is needed.

It would be helpful in the modeller, but it's even more important in web publication. Our clients use the web format to refer to the process and it gets very confusing for processes with more than a few diagrams on multiple levels.

I agree that a tree view is needed.

While using a naming convention like X.X.X.X - Model Name, and using the SEARCH field to find a specific model in a large collection of diagrams helps, I like the concept of a tree in addition to the active diagram tabs.

Too bad that this topic has been "under consideration" for 4 years... If you want to implement a enterprise wide process model you need a process architecture which you can roll up and down from blueprint level (L1, for example: Entreprise Supporting Processes) to transaction level (L5, for example: approve PO). I hope there there will be some development on this topic soon!
