# Process Template Diagram and Guidelines

The **Process Template Diagram** is the core workspace in **Process Designer** where business processes are visually modeled and implemented.\
It uses a simple **drag‑and‑drop graphical interface** based on **BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation)** to represent and configure business activities.

By using BPMN standards, the Process Template Diagram enables:

* Clear interpretation of business logic
* Effective collaboration between business and technical users
* Easier maintenance and enhancement of process definitions

***

### Process Template Diagram Layout

The Process Template Diagram is divided into **three main panels**, as shown below.

#### Panel Overview

1. **Node Task Panel**
2. **Diagram Panel**
3. **Action Panel**

Each panel is described in detail below.

***

\##📦 Node Task Panel

The **Node Task Panel** contains all available **process activity nodes** (BPMN elements).\
Each node type represents a specific business purpose.

Examples:

* **Human Task** – Used for tasks assigned to a Work Party (users or roles)
* **Database Task** – Used for database operations
* **Gateway** – Used for decision logic
* **Start / End Events** – Used to define process boundaries

For detailed descriptions of each node type, refer to the\
**Activity Nodes** section.

***

### Diagram Panel

The **Diagram Panel** is the central canvas where the business process is designed.

Capabilities include:

* Dragging nodes from the Node Task Panel
* Connecting nodes to form process flow
* Right‑clicking a node to:
  * Open configuration
  * Add boundary events
  * Delete nodes

This panel visually represents the complete execution logic of the process.

***

### Action Panel

The **Action Panel** provides editing and navigation tools for the diagram.

#### Action Icons and Functions

| Action   | Description                        |
| -------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Undo     | Undo the last action               |
| Redo     | Restore a previously undone action |
| Delete   | Delete the selected object         |
| Cut      | Cut the selected object            |
| Copy     | Copy the selected object           |
| Paste    | Paste the copied or cut object     |
| Zoom In  | Increase diagram size              |
| Zoom Out | Decrease diagram size              |

These controls help manage large or complex process designs efficiently.

### Process Template Diagram Creation Guidelines

A Process Template Diagram is created by dragging nodes onto the diagram panel and configuring them step by step.

Below is a **sample guideline** for creating a process flow.

***

#### Step 1: Add Horizontal Lane

Begin by dragging a **Horizontal Lane** into the diagram panel.

> ℹ️ **Note**\
> For more details, refer to **Pool / Lane** section.

***

#### Step 2: Add Core Process Nodes

Drag the necessary nodes to the diagram panel:

* **Start Event**
* **End Event**
* **Exclusive Gateway**
* **Human Task**
* **Database Task**

<figure><img src="https://2015371994-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMpDjHWFRUtZ5nJcSfVXd%2Fuploads%2FdUeUW2MlCyxVk986JYof%2F10?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

#### Step 3: Connect Nodes

Create process flow by connecting nodes:

* Hover over a node
* Select one of the available connector ports
* Drag the connector to the target node

***

#### Step 4: Rename Nodes and Configure Gateway Paths

Double‑click nodes to rename them:

* Database Tasks →
  * *Get User Information from DB*
  * *Save User Status to DB*
* Human Task → *Approve Inbox*
* Gateway → *Check Approve*

<figure><img src="https://2015371994-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMpDjHWFRUtZ5nJcSfVXd%2Fuploads%2FQMAPmWq9RHAnb66jNpFh%2F12?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Rename outgoing gateway paths:

* Approve
* Reject

Configure gateway conditions via the **Gateway → Condition** tab.

***

#### Step 5: Configure Business Object Mapping

1. Double‑click a node and open the **Business Object** tab
2. Enable **Input** and **Output**
3. Click **Open Mapping Parameter**
