Process Module – Quick Mapping Shape Stencil

Functionality

In EPC, editors can now quickly add the next flow-object during mapping by simply selecting the next shape from the shape stencil and then clicking where to place the shape on the map. No longer do users need to drag & drop a shape from the side panel nor manually link the transitions between each shape.

How it works

To start using this feature, users have to be in edit mode of graph. If users are creating a new graph, then they have to drag the first event start to the swimlane. If the process already exist then users just click on the shape and the list of object appears around the item to select the next shape in the process.

Then select the desired shape to add and place it.

In the example the user chose a task, then every time users double clicks on the task, the user will be able to place another task until the user changes the object selected in the quick menu.
