graphical BPMN-Elements

[Arne_Schultz]

Hello,
I have a question concerning graphical BPMN-Elements, for example the envelope symbol specifying the type of an start event:
Are such elements included in the BPMN-AddIn for EA?
Somehow I cannot find them...

Thank you for your help,

Hi Arne,

Yes, they are. And yes you can.

EA handles these 'variants' of the basic elements through tagged values. Open the Tagged Value window of EA - you can dock this window to make it easier to use.

Highlight an event. Now take a look at the tagged values. You'll notice several that are obvious in meaning. To set a value for some of these, click in the value field, and notice that it turns into a drop-down from which you can (and must) select a legal value. Once you do so, take a look at the element.

Practice a bit and you'll very quickly get the hang of it.

HTH, David

Good to hear you're back on track Arne.

It's just one of those things. You kind of have to have already been there to see it the first time.

It just so happened that I am working through a profile issue with Sparx, so I've got this on my mind.
