Models

Starting from the processes window, it is possible to access to another window containing the list of BPMN models. A model is an editable version of a process and it can be changed any number of times, through the web modeler . A process represent a runnable version of a model and cannot be edited. Therefore, the lifecycle starts with a model created using the web modeler, then the model is converted in a process; once a process is available, it can be started any number of times. The model can be changed and follows a separated flow; at some point, it can be converted in a new version of the process. Once a process has been created starting from a model, an " automatic form creation " task is carried out. This task analyzes the process definition, searching for manual tasks and their linked properties: for each of them, a Platform detail form is created and filled in with the task properties. In this way, you can embed these forms in any other window and manage the showable part of the process as any other Platform UI.
