If the content type configuration is enabled, use the modeling component properties page to add satellites to selected structurally relevant objects, display them in the model, or delete existing connections to satellites.
Satellites are objects that do not belong to the structurally relevant objects of a model but add additional information to the model.
For example, in an EPC you can connect organizational units as satellites to an object of type Function instead of modeling and assigning a function allocation diagram to the function.
You can create a new connection from the selected
to a new . The following procedure shows an example of how satellite modeling works. Note that the specified items and names are only examples.Basic model objects.
These are objects that indicate the distinctive feature of a model. For a model of the Organizational chart type, the objects Organizational unit, Role, and Person are structurally relevant objects, for example. Using these items, you can build the typical hierarchy of an organizational chart.
The Event and Function objects are typical for the EPC model type and are thus structurally relevant to a business process. You can use these to establish a typical control flow. The Organizational unit, Role, and Person objects can also be inserted into an EPC. However, these objects do not constitute the distinctive feature of a business process. As structurally irrelevant objects, they act as satellites and add more detailed information to the process model. For example, you can insert organizational units and link them to functions to illustrate who carries out those functions.
An object that can be inserted in a model or diagram but is not a structurally relevant object is known as a satellite.
A satellite is an object that can be inserted in a model or diagram but is not structurally relevant in the model or diagram.
For example, an object of the Organizational unit type is a satellite in an event-driven process chain (EPC). In a model of the Organizational chart type, on the other hand, an object of the Organizational unit type is a structurally relevant object.
