Designing and Implementing Business Process Models : Modeling BPMN 1.x in ARIS : Introduction : Common Flow Object Attributes
Common Flow Object Attributes
The following table displays the set of attributes common to BPMN Flow Objects (Events, Activities, and Gateways), and which extends the set of common graphical object attributes.
Attributes
ARIS Attribute Name (en) API_NAME (Attr. Number)
Other Semantic equivalent in ARIS
 
Name : String
Name
AT_NAME (1)
 
Assigments (0-n) : Assignment
 
Assignments are modeled inside the BPMN Allocation diagram which is assigned to the defining Flow Object. A detailed explanation of assignment modeling in ARIS can be found in the Section Property Assignment Modeling in ARIS (Page ).
 
Pool : Pool
 
If the objects has a belongs to connection (usually this connection would be realised via an embedding (invisible connection) towards a pool or a lane which is part of a pool:
The target of the belongs to connection from the current flow object towards a pool or lane specifies the pool of this flow object.
If the object has no explicit belongs to connection (only possible reason would be that the object is placed inside an invisible pool):
The pool of an object is defined as the Pool object which is the assignment parent of the current BPD. So to resolve the pool that contains this flow object a flow engine would need to find the Pool object which has an assignment to the current BPD.
 
Lanes (0-n) : Lane
 
If the objects has a belongs to connection towards a lane:
The target(s) of the belongs to connection(s) from the current flow object towards the lane(s) specifies the lane of this flow object.
Objects which are part of an invisible Pool and which have no belongs to connection towards a Lane are part of the Lane which has the same name than the Pool (implicit lane assignment towards the implicit lane of a pool.)
