16.2.2 Process Structure

Processes are stored within Process Sets. Process sets are the top-level folders that help to organize related processes by business area, ownership, or any other relevant criteria. Processes can also be under another process as a sub-process; these are arranged in a hierarchical structure to simplify navigation and organization.

The import Visio function imports the BPMN shapes, the process and its sub-processes, as well as the roles responsible. The imported processes look like this on the EPC:

*The name of the gateways is displayed when viewing the process in Details or List view. To view the process in a Swimlane View, navigate to the Process Module, to the Graph.

View of the process, and then click on the Options button . A window with the Map Options will be generated. Make sure “Swimlanes” is set as “Display,” and “Roles” are set as “Swimlanes Matrix Y.”
