Documenting Business Process Models

This topic describes the procedure to document business process model(s).

During design time, often there arises a need for discussing, reviewing and sharing information about business process models. This is done to

• arrive at decisions on how the business process model should be designed
• what portions of the business process model need to be modified
• obtain a single view of the entire business process model containing the specified model and activity level properties
• any other requirement for which you may need to document your business process model(s)

In the above context(s), Process Platform extends the Export functionality to document your business process model(s) which helps you to use and reuse documented process models for immediate and future references.
