Create a Diagram

Create your initial Process diagram by selecting the Create my first diagram button on the welcome page.

More diagrams can be created by these two options:

  • From the Diagrams tab, click Create BPMN diagram button in the bottom-right corner.

  • While working on a specific diagram, use the plus icon Create diagram in the top-left corner.

By default, you will find one pool with two lanes available to help you get started modeling and adding more elements.

Rename a Diagram

The name of the diagram can be found in the top-left corner and in the side panel of the diagram. In case the name of the diagram is too long to fit in the box, hover over to see the full name. It is automatically generated but can be edited as needed. A diagram name can have a maximum of 255 characters.

To rename the diagram, there are two methods available:

From the Menu bar

  1. Click on the name in the top-left corner and type in a new name.

  2. Press Enter or click anywhere around the name to save changes.
