Create a case fragment

A case fragment is a sub-process that is initiated and used within a case process and cannot be used by other processes or cases. For example, a patient is represented as a case process and the diagnosis is considered as a case fragment. The diagnosis case fragment is completed if the patient takes the tests but the case process is completed when the patient is discharged from the hospital.

  • A case fragment is similar to a process in that it has all of the attributes of a normal process such as nodes, data, SLAs and resources. However, a fragment is dependent on the case in which it is created and cannot be reused by other processes or cases.
  • A case fragment inherits the properties of the case from which it is called.
  • A case fragment has direct access to case elements such as variables and milestones.

  1. On the Home page, click Process Designer > Case Fragment.
  2. Alternatively, to create a case fragment on a specific case process, open the case and click Case Fragments.
  3. On the General tab of the case fragment map, consume the case map to associate with the case fragment map.
  4. Add activities, decisions, End nodes, and others, similar to a case map. See Create a case.
  5. Set other properties as needed. See Configure the properties of a process.
  6. Save or release the case fragment map. See Save and release a map.
