You can find an introduction into working with the Innovator X Generation and extensive information about functions and special topics here.
The modeling software, Innovator, supports business process modeling, object-oriented software analysis and object-oriented design, as well as relational data modeling. Business process, requirements, software system and data models can be created, modified and linked together in Innovator. All editors necessary for this are integrated and available within the application.
The program needs to be installed correctly and have a valid license so that Innovator can be used.
The Innovator X Generation interface uses the most up-to-date techniques in Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). It is structured similarly to the current Microsoft Office interface.
A model is an abstraction of the real world, i.e. a simple map of reality. A model is made up of elements and their relationships.
A diagram represents certain aspects of a model. Diagrams are made up of nodes and edges; their form and meaning are defined by the respective notation.
Each specification describes a certain aspect of a model element in the respective text definition, e.g. description or open points. Model elements can also have comments and annotations; these are designed to add more information to the element. You can also select text passages in running text in the Element from text tool window and mark them as BPMN element types to then use them in a process.
Various roles can be defined so that the respective user can be assigned various authorizations, enabling the user to carry out their task in the team using appropriate functions and model views.
The interface of the new Innovator products differs from previous Innovator interfaces. Role-specific requirements can now be better dealt with and working in diagrams is set out in a more productive way.
