Scope
- Book Page content object > BPM Object object
Purpose
The BPM Object object is used to insert a specialized visual object that functions as an element in a Business Process Model (BPM) flowchart. BPM flowcharts typically depict the sequence of tasks that take place for a defined business process, and identify (by way of Connection objects) the sequence of these tasks.
Key to a BPM is identification of the tasks, and who carries out each task. The BPM Object provides properties for both of these, along with the ability to attach notes and other files, and to hyperlink to another content object (for example, a Simulation for the task).
