Insert SmartDesign dialog (process)

Use the SmartDesign table to quickly enter model contents via the keyboard while the model graphic is created automatically.

The model type, the SmartDesign configuration, and your settings in the Show columns pop-up menu on the table header determine what columns are shown in the table.

The table colors help to distinguish between the object types.

First column

In models that represent processes, the first column contains a logical and/or chronological sequence of objects. Consequently, when adding an object you can always select the object type if several object types are useful at the current position in the process. The SmartDesign configuration determines which object types are useful when they occur in succession.

Example: In a model of the EPC type, the first column may contain, for example, events and functions. After a function, you can select whether you want to insert an event or function. You can only insert a function between an event and function.

More columns

If the SmartDesign contains other columns, you can create objects there that have a relationship with the object in the first column.

Each column represents an object type that has a certain relationship to the object in the first column.

Example: In a model of the EPC type, the Input documents column may contain, for example, objects of the Document type, which have an is input for relationship with the activity.
