Business Process Diagram editor

The Business Process Diagram (BPD) editor is used for visually editing the process model using BPM notation. Process models are saved with the file extension *.bpm.

Any number of editors can be open at once, but only one can be active at a time. The main menu bar and toolbar for the editor view contain operations that are applicable to the active diagram.

Tabs in the editor area indicate the names of resources that are currently open for editing. An asterisk (*) indicates that an editor has unsaved changes. To close an editor, click the X on the tab.

By default, editors are stacked in the editor area, but you can choose to tile them in order to view source files simultaneously.

You can use the context menus to define the default characteristics of new diagram objects by right-clicking on an existing object and selecting Set appearance default. Once you have done that, newly created objects of the same type will have the characteristics of the existing object (color, font, font size, shape, etc.)
