Transform subprocess (expanded) into subprocess (collapsed)

You can transform an object of the Subprocess (expanded) type into an object of the Subprocess (collapsed) type.

In BPMN, a distinction is made between objects of the Subprocess (expanded) type and objects of the Subprocess (collapsed) type.

Procedure (quick video)

  1. Open a BPMN diagram containing an object of the Subprocess (expanded) type or model one.

    You can open models in different ways.

    Prerequisite

    • You have the ARIS Connect Designer license privilege.

    • The model type is allowed by the method filter in use.

    Procedure

    1. If you are authorized to use multiple databases, select the database containing the contents you want to access.

    2. Click Application launcher Application launcher > Published content Published content.

    3. Click Groups in the Classic or Processes in the Default configuration set.

    4. Select the group or process area containing the required model. The content of the selected group or process area is listed.

    5. Click the name of the relevant model.

    6. Click Diagram if you want to display the model graphically.

    7. Click Edit Edit > Edit model Edit model.

    1. Click Application launcher Application launcher > Models and objects Models and objects. The Models and objects view in the repository is opened.

    2. In the database, select the group containing the relevant model. The content of the selected group is listed.

    3. Click the name of the model you want to open.

    1. If you are authorized to use multiple databases, select the database containing the contents you want to access.

    2. Click Application launcher Application launcher > Models and objects Models and objects. The Models and objects view in the repository is opened.

    3. Click Recent changes Recently used. All models are listed that have recently been changed or created.

    4. Click the tile of the model you want to open.

    You can select models in the Published content Published content view and open them for editing in a separate tab.

    Prerequisite

    You have the ARIS Connect Designer license privilege.

    Procedure

    1. Click Application launcher Application launcher > Published content Published content.

    2. Click Groups in the Classic or Processes in the Default configuration set.

    3. Navigate to the relevant model.

    4. Click the name of the model you want to edit.

    5. Click Edit Edit > Edit model Edit model. The model opens on an individual tab.

    6. Make the required changes.

    7. Click Save Save.

    1. If you are authorized to use multiple databases, select the database containing the contents you want to access.

    2. Click the Search field and enter a term that is included in the model name. The search results list all models that have the term in their name.

    3. In the Models category, click the name of the model you want to open.

    The model opens on a separate tab.

  2. Click this object.

  3. Activate the BPMN tab bar.

  4. Click Activity Activity > Collapse subprocess Collapse.

    If you have not yet created any objects in the object of the Subprocess type, the Assignment Wizard opens to enable you to select a new or existing diagram. Otherwise, this step is skipped.

  5. If the subprocess contains objects that are not assigned to any diagram, the Collapse BPMN subprocess dialog opens. If you click OK, they will be assigned in a separate diagram.

The subprocess is transformed into an object of the Subprocess (collapsed) type and the symbol is changed accordingly. A model that has the same name as the subprocess and represents the actual subprocess is assigned to this subprocess. You can edit this assigned model.

Tip

You can transform an object of the Subprocess (expanded) type into an object of the Subprocess (collapsed) type by clicking the symbol Collapse subprocess Collapse.
