Showing/hiding process diagram details

You can decide what details will be shown on the process diagram by checking on or off the boxes or by pressing buttons in the Show/hide group in Home tab. This, however, will be only the initial setting for the Engage Process Viewer. A viewer can still change the way a process diagram is presented although you can block this possibility for Notes and Annotations in the viewer settings.

Press the Input/Output button to show input and output items for activities and subprocesses (service, phases). Click it again to hide these items.

Notice the the layout of the process may be expanded vertically to make place for the input (on top) and output (below) balloons.

If there is no input/output document specified for any of the process steps the diagram does change and the following message appears to inform you:

Three most frequently used check boxes (Connections, Notes and Value added) are shown in the Show/hide group.

Box name	Description
Roles	Show names of the roles assigned to an activity or service above the activity/service icon.
Notes	Show the content of the Note property in a form of a yellow sticker on top of the step’s icon.
Numbers	Show the numbers of the process steps. Numbers of steps inside a subprocess are prefixed by the number of embedding subprocess from the higher level. If the Numbers box is checked then automatically theTags box is unchecked.
Connections	Show connections between Go to steps and their destinations (Go to join steps are always connected with their joins)
Branches: Labels	Show conditions or labels on the connections outgoing from a Choice, Decision and Parallel steps.
Branches: Frequencies	Show frequencies on the connections outgoing from a Choice and Decision steps.
Indicators: Description	Show a mark indicating that a description is provided for this process step.
Indicators: Remarks	Show a mark indicating that remarks are provided for this process step.
Tags	Show a process step tag in place of the step number. If the Tags box is checked then automatically the Numbers box is unchecked.
Value added	Show the Value added property of activities and breaks by changing the background of the process step: red for the non value added, yellow for business value added and green for the customer value added.
Annotations	Show annotations.

If there are custom types defined for a selected process they will also appear on this list (Location in the example above). Custom type values will appear above the step icon.

Since the Tags and the Numbers appear in the same place on the diagram only one of them can be checked at a time. The same applies to the Roles and the custom types.

In this case, the Meeting step is non value adding, Break is business value adding and Computer is customer value adding .

If all the frequencies of a choice sum to 100 then they are shown as percentages.
