Properties of Business Processes (.bpm)

Business Processes (.bpm) are modelled graphically using the BPMN Editor and can be executed on the X4 Server if all modules are parameterized and linked correctly with repository files.

You can edit the properties of a Business Process in the Properties view by clicking on a free area of the BPMN Editor's workspace.

The most common properties are displayed by default, however, additional settings can be made using the Properties view toolbar:

Show Categories: Show properties sorted by categories
Show Advanced Properties: Show advanced properties
