  • In the center, there is a canvas for modeling processes, with a BPMN element palette on the left. To add a new element, drag it from the palette onto the canvas.

  • The properties panel on the right displays the properties of the process or the selected element.

  • The toolbar contains actions for deploying the process, managing drafts, and importing or exporting models in XML format.

Importing and Exporting Models

To export a model, click the Download button. The XML model will be saved in a file with the .bpmn20.xml extension, using the process id as the file name.

To import a model, click the Upload button and select the file. The imported model can be edited, deployed, or saved as a draft.

BPMN models created in third-party tools may not be compatible with Jmix BPM.

Conversely, models created in Jmix BPM may have limitations in third-party tools: components specific to Jmix, such as the Entity Data task and Email Sending task, will be represented as standard Service Tasks. However, they will retain their properties.
