The Processes module allows you to link elements on the canvas to the objects stored in your repository. The table below lists all connections that are permitted in BlueDolphin:
BPMN element | ArchiMate object type | Name copied from the object and not editable |
BPMN diagram | Business Process | No |
Expanded Pool |
Business Actor or Business Role |
Yes |
Swim Lane | Business Actor or Business Role | Yes |
Task | Application Component | No |
Call Activity | Business Process | Yes |
Data Object | Business Object | Yes |
Data Store | Data Object | Yes |
You can connect the object in two different ways:
Using the toolbox
- Click an element on the canvas.
- In the toolbox on the element's right side, click the Connect icon.
- In the search box, type the name of the object you want to connect to the element. Only allowed connections are presented.
- Choose the object from the list and click Connect.
Using the side panel
- Click the arrow icon in the top-right corner to open the side panel.
- Select the element and click the Connect Object button in the side panel.
- In the search box, type the name of the object you want to connect to the element. Only allowed connections will be presented.
- Choose the object from the list and click Connect button.
NOTE: | If an object is deleted from the repository, it still appears connected in the diagram. |
Connect a business process
Diagrams can be connected to business processes only from the side panel.
To connect the process, make sure none of the elements inside the diagram should be clicked.
