Creating a Process with the First Flow Element
Create a first flow element; this will automatically create a new process.
The diagram does not contain any elements.
The elements which can be linked by sequence flows are shown as flow nodes in a BPMN diagram, i.e. task, subprocess, event and gateway. If one of these elements is dragged into an empty BPMN diagram, Innovator automatically creates a new process which contains this element.
Please note that this mechanism only works with the event icon for events but not with the various event definitions.
- Click in the BPMN diagram.
The Design tab is shown in the Create Diagram Content gallery.
- Drag an event, a task, a subprocess or a gateway from the Create Diagram Content gallery and drop it in the diagram.
A new process with the default name "Default" is created. The inserted element is placed in this process. The name is automatically selected for editing if it is a task or subprocess.
- Enter the name for the flow node and confirm with the [Enter] key.
- Rename the automatically-created process.
