Process Maps

All users can view and print process maps; however, to access the grey ... (ellipsis) button, users must select the View Flow Model within the Process Map

Workflows

Users with access to the library are able to print maps and steps. For the printing of individual flows, please visit this article

PDF Steps will save the Flow as a PDF document, which includes a title page, table of contents, the Flow diagram and the details of all Steps including data fields. All Steps are numbered, allowing easy reference to the diagram.

Print Map will save the map as a PDF document.

Export

The Export option will save the current Flow to your computer as a JSON file. It is not recommended to edit or modify this file in any way as it may prevent it from being imported again.

Import

Import will allow you to choose a previously exported Flow and import it. This will replace the current Flow in the Modeler. If you do not wish to overwrite an existing Flow, create a new one then import the saved Flow into it.
