Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) processes are responsible for handling the user data, that is, they can read data objects from internal or external data sources, edit, transform and write them back and transport them between the individual process steps (tasks).

This article describes how to import and edit BPMN processes in Identity Manager Admin (PRIME Designer).

PRIME supports BPMN 2.0 standard.

Prerequisites

 Prerequisites

A BPMN Design tool, for example the Nexus Activiti Designer, which is provided together with PRIME.

Step-by-step instruction

 Log in to PRIME Designer as admin
  1. Log in to PRIME Designer as an admin user.
 Import BPMN process
  1. In PRIME Designer, go to Home > Process Import.

  2. To import a process:

    1. Click +New.

    2. Click Upload, locate the process definition and click Open.
    3. Click Save + Edit. The name and ID of the process are formed from the information in the import file.

The process name is displayed as a reference in the command panel and in the Open Tasks tab of PRIME Explorer. You can optionally add a description and upload an image that will be displayed next to the process name in the command panel. You can also write a process-specific help text that will be displayed via the Help button in the command panel of PRIME Explorer.

 Configure process steps

To configure the process steps (tasks):

Only the task's attributes may be modified, not the structure of the process.

  1. In the Task List tab, add a description to the task under Description. The description can be entered in more than one language using the symbol.
  2. Under Attributes, configure the data processing and user interaction that is to take place in this step. You can enable the editor function with the EDIT button (pen). The attributes that can be set in the Task Editor depend on the type of selected task. A detailed description can be found in Set up process in Identity Manager.
  3. The entire BPMN process can be displayed graphically using the Preview button. Use the adjusted button to zoom in.
  4. In the Permissions tab, allocate individual users and roles permissions to Delete or Update the process definition in PRIME Designer and to start the process in PRIME Explorer or – in a workflow – perform individual tasks.
