Inputs and Outputs define the flow of work between the shapes within a process. They represent the inputs required to start an activity and the outputs produced once the activity is completed.

Web Modelers can assign Inputs and Outputs to the flows of a process map when mapping processes on Graph Edit Mode.

The end-user will be able to see the inputs and outputs directly when viewing the process map under the Graph tab, and under the SIPOC section in the Details tab of a Process.

The following table will explain the SIPOC concept:

Name Description Example
Supplier Entity that provides input(s) to a process Client, call center, email
Inputs All that is used to produce one or more outputs from a process Calls, order, invoice
Processes Steps or activities carried out to convert inputs to one or more outputs Verify customer’s identity, calculate invoice, fill order form
Outputs Users can view the outputs emerging from a process Resolution of customer issue, invoice sent, order completed
Customers Users can view the entity that uses the outputs generated from the process End customer, client, organization

To Assign Inputs and Outputs to a flow, follow these instructions

  1. Navigate to Full Screen Edit Mode, after clicking on Edit Button

  1. Navigate to a Flow

  1. Right-click on the Flow. A drop-down menu will be generated

  1. Choose the “Inputs/Outputs” box

  1. A pop-up will be generated allowing you to edit the Inputs and Outputs for the Flow

  1. Navigate to the “Select an Input/Output” field
