CSV import of BPMN activities

[Smartrek]

I've got an excel list of BPMN activities which I have to import in EA 8.0. I fill the TYPE and STEREOTYPE fields in the CSV file with "Activity". However, when imported I do not have the BPMN attributes which are usually available as tagged values. I assume they are imported as plain UML activities.

I know that I can apply the BPMN activity type by dragging an activity from the toolbox on the activity element in the BPMN 1.1 diagramm. But as I've got hundreds of BPMN activities to import it would be nice to have it done directly by the import. Is there any field I have to set in the CSV file to get the activities imported as BPMN activities? Or can I apply the BPMN type to a range of activities?

Thanks for any suggestion.

The simple VBA Excel EA importer could be usefull as a starting point.
It already imports elements, attributes, and some tagged values. Just tweak it a bit to do exactly what you need.

I downloaded the importer. As far as I see, I'll just have to change the element type (class --> activity) and add the BPMN attributes as tagged values. I'll have a closer look at it.

Thank you!

Yes, that should be about it.
