Modeler Features

The following actions are available:

  • Drag-and-drop – Drag BPMN elements from the palette at the left to add them to the canvas.

  • View properties – Click the canvas to display process properties or click an element to display its properties; both are editable in the right panel.

  • Deploy process – Click deploy process button to deploy the current process. Redeploying creates a newer version of the corresponding process definition.

  • Open process draft – Click open draft button to open the Process Drafts lookup view to browse and open saved drafts.

  • Save draft – Click save draft button to save process as draft.

  • Export – Export the current process as a .bpmn20.xml file.

  • Import – Import a process from a .bpmn or .bpmn20.xml file.

    Exporting and importing models from other tools

    BPMN models created in third-party tools may not be fully compatible with Jmix BPM. Similarly, models created in Jmix BPM may have limitations in third-party tools; Jmix-specific elements (for example, Entity Data Task and Email Sending Task), will appear as standard Service Task in other tools but retain their properties.
