Importing (P)

Currently you can import to Engage Process Modeler from files in the following formats:

EMPZ or EMDZ file in the Engage Process native format
XPDL file , (i.e., in XML Process Definition Language specified by Workflow Management Coalition).
BPMN file (i.e., the Business Process Model and Notation format specified by Object Management Group)
XML file in BPMOne format.
PAL file in Protos format.
XML file in Mavim format

 

.Importing

 

The last three formats were taken into account because several organizations still have processes in BPM|One, Protos or Mavim files. These can easily be transferred to the Engage Process Modeler environment via the import function.

The imported diagrams will be placed on the top level of the project unless you select a particular folder. The following question will appear in the latter case:

 

SelectFolderQuestion

 

Press Selected folder if you want to place the imported diagrams into the currently selected folder or the folder containing the currently selected diagram.

 

If the import file contains diagrams with the same names as diagrams in the destination project then an additional question appears because these names can be the same by accident but you can also want to import a new version of the exiting diagrams:

 

OverwriteDiagramsQuestion

 

If you press Yes a version of the current diagram will be automatically created and its content will be overwritten by the imported diagram with the same name. So, if your old process was published or shared and you publish (share) the imported diagram now it will be recognized as a new version of the already published (shared) one.
