BPMN: Linking Start Events with a diagram

[Michael Schmalzbauer]

Hi,

I want to design some Processes using the BPMN profile.
With Link Events one can link to corresponding links in different diagrams.
Is there any possibility to make this link clickable?
At the moment I'm not even able to establish the link between the two events (tagged value, properties etc.?)

Any suggestions on how to link one BPMN Event with another?

thanks and greetings, Michael

Michael,

Hi.   I too would be interested in this capability.   It would allow you to point the link object to the process diagram it refers too.   (This is the whole point of the link object in BPMN.)

I also have had this problem, however I made a small workaround which fits in my needs.

1. Hide the label of the start / ending event
2. Place a 'Business Process' instance above the start / end event

Now there is no link at the start / end event. However it is quite obvious for the user that the end or start event redirects to the corresponding business process.

I asked the support for this feature. Unfortunately there is no way to link an event with a diagram. A feature request is logged and will be considered for future versions.

Here is another workaround (if appropriate):
If you use the same Link-type IntermediateEvent on two diagrams, you can select it and press Ctrl+U to find its usage, i.e. a list of diagrams it appears on. You can double-click on a diagram in the list to open it.
