Different view of a business process?
« on: August 09, 2011, 03:07:12 am »
Here is what I am trying to do:

I have a business process model done in BPMN (2.0).  Now I would like to annotate each activity with a data object (to show what goes in and what comes out), and in the end I would  like to be able to show a diagram with or without data objects.  

What would be the best way to do it?

Here are two options:
1) copy the existing diagram and annotate it with data objects.  I dont like this idea b/c if I change my original diagram/model, I have to change the annotated one.

2) annotate the existing diagram with data objects and then view it two different ways (one with data objects and another one without it).  Could one do this in EA (9.0)?

Thank you all,

Fred Bevan

You could use the Diagram Filters feature to implement option 2.
