Importing Processes

To avoid redundancy and make complex Business Process Configurations easier to maintain, it is possible to import existing business processes from other current configurations by completing the following tasks:

1. Create node. In order to be able to import a process, you first need to create a root node. You cannot import processes directly into the root level.

2. Import a Process. Once the related configuration form is open, choose Existing Process and wait for the form to refresh.

3. Choose Configuration. You can now choose the configuration to import processes from. Or simply hit Next to just utilize a process from the current configuration.

4. Select Processes. Next, select the processes you want to import and submit the form.

5. Import Successful. You can now see the resulting imported process. Don’t forget to save your changes!

Navigation with Seamless Breadcrumbs

You may have already noticed that the breadcrumbs reflect the hierarchy of the imported process. Once you navigate down through the hierarchy, the actions below the breadcrumbs change and no longer allow you to unlock editing.

To modify imported processes, you first need to open them where they were originally configured. To do this, click on the right arrow (see the screenshot below) which is displayed in the tile’s action URLs in the upper left of the node. When in tree view mode, these can be found at the very right of a process’ row.
