The modeling bar of process designer includes tabs that help in designing a process.

File

Use this tab to perform the following commands:

• Info: Displays the basic information for the process:

  • Last modified by: The resource who last modified the map.

  • Last modified date: Date the process was last modified.

  • Status: Status of the process such as New, Saved or Released.

  • Version: The version of the current map. A saved map displays the minor version, such as 0.1 and a released map displays the major version, such as 1.0.

  • Creation date: Date the process was created.

  • Author: The resource who created the map.

• Associations: Provides visibility of where the process is being used in a current process or which processes are using the current process. See View Associations.

• Export: Lets you export one or more process maps between TotalAgility installations. See Export a process.

• Version history: Lets you view the version history of a process. You can also open a version of a process if you have the required access permissions.

• Generate documentation: Creates a document for the process workflow.

• Update resources: Lets you update all resource-related information without having to update the map version.

  For example, you might replace a resource currently allocated to an activity with a resource who has a higher skill level.

• Save: Saves map changes and creates a minor version of the map, such as Get Customer Details v0.01. You can only start a job based on a saved process map, if you have a development license.

• Release: Releases the map, and creates a major version of the map, such as Get Customer Details v1.0. You can only use a released map in production.

• Close: Closes the map without saving it.

• Close and unlock: Whenever an item is released, it is locked by default. Use this option to automatically unlock an item.
