Side Toolbar
Process Modeling > Graphic modeling area
This toolbar contains the graphic icons corresponding to the different types of symbols that can be defined in a process diagram, based on BPMN2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation).
BPMN 2.0 is a standardized graphical notation that allows business process modeling in a workflow format.
It provides a notation that is easily readable and understandable by all those involved and interested in the business, closing the communication gap that frequently occurs between the design and implementation of business processes.
To model processes with these graphic elements, just drag them from the side toolbar and drop them on the graphic modeling area in the chosen position, in order to enter the properties of each element.
