Import from BPMN file (P)

To import processes from a file in the BPMN format, (i.e., the Business Process Model and Notation format specified by Object Management Group), click on the File tab, next on Open, then on Import and finally select Import from BPMN file. In the dialog that opens select the corresponding BPMN file.

The processes defined on this file will be added to the current project and automatically opened in the Diagram pane. The roles defined in this file will be added to the set of roles of the project. If collaboration between processes is specified on the imported BPMN file, then the collaboration process will be added to the project as well.

If the imported BPMN file was created by Engage Process Modeler using Download process as BPMN file then some Engage Process specific properties not defined in the standard Business Process Model and Notation will also be imported.

Since the import of a BPMN file that was exported from Engage Process Modeler does not necessarily result in the exactly same diagrams we suggest to use Engage Process native format to exchange processes between Engage Process Modeler users.
