Tip
In your modeling example, you can include precisely those symbols and connections that you want your SmartDesign to allow. This saves you additional configuration efforts in the wizard.
You can save your modeling example in a separate group or database. It then remains available for training and documentation purposes, for subsequent changes to the SmartDesign configuration, or for the creation of fragments or filters.
You can also configure several SmartDesigns for a model type, thus making input easier. For the EPC model type, you could have, for example, one SmartDesign called Function list, which contains only the Function symbol, possibly even without connections. You could then have another SmartDesign called Process, which contains a typical process flow with events and functions as well as assigned application system types and organizational units.
