Assigning a Process to Organizational Units or IT Elements

Assign processes to specific organizational units and IT elements to describe the area which a process belongs to.

Context

Processes are assigned to organizational units and IT elements to map where these processes take place. All processes that belong to a department in a company can be represented together in an organizational unit. IT elements represent IT systems.

Organizational units that represent a part of their organization structure can be newly created or inserted into a process map using drag-and-drop.

If you use an existing organizational unit, then a corresponding concept node with a referencing realization is created which points to the inserted organizational unit, as is the case with BPMN processes.

If you create a new concept node, you will then need to assign the realization using an organizational unit.

How to proceed

Select the organizational unit which you want to assign processes to in the process map and drag-and-drop it into the process map.

A concept node for an organizational unit with a realization of the existing organizational unit is created.
Drag the BPMN process which you want to assign to the organizational unit and drop it onto the concept node of the organizational unit.

A process node with a realization of the BPMN process is inserted. The node for the organizational unit is automatically enlarged.
