BPMN 2.0 Business Process Toolbox Pages

Sequence Flow

Sequence Flow

Use to: Extend a Control Flow relationship to define the flow of activity.

Association

Link the information and Artifacts with BPMN graphic elements.

Message Flow

Extend a Control Flow relationship to define the flow of communications in the process.

Data Association

Move data between Data Objects, Data Store, Properties and Activities, Processes.

Conversation Link

Connect a Conversation Node with a Pool, in either direction.

Business Process

Extend a composite Activity that defines a business process.

BPEL

Define the behavior of an executable or abstract business process.

Activity

Represent work that is performed within a Business Process. An Activity can be modeled as a:

• Sub-Process - a compound Activity that is defined as a flow of other BPMN 2.0 elements or
• Task - an atomic Activity that cannot be broken down into a smaller unit

As a sub-process, the Activity can be made a composite element that links to a child diagram containing the flow of other BPMN elements.

Global Task

Define a task or activity performed in the top-level process, at a higher level of execution.

Data Object

Provide or store the information for an Activity.

Data Store

Represent a mechanism for an Activity to retrieve or update stored information.

Start Event

Define the initiating event in a process.

Elements of this type cannot be edge-mounted on other elements.

Intermediate Event

Define an intermediate event in a process.

Elements of this type can only be edge-mounted on Activity elements.

End Event

Define the terminating event in a process.

Elements of this type cannot be edge-mounted on other elements.

Gateway

Define a decision point in a business process.

If a condition is true then processing continues one way; if false, then another.

Pool

Extend a Partition element to logically organize an Activity.

Lane

Extend a Partition element to subdivide a Pool.
