This section provides information on the following additional operations that Process Designer Express provides on an activity diagram:
Process Designer Express provides the ability to open and close an activity diagram.
To open an activity diagram, you can perform any of the following actions:
Open All Diagrams opens a window for each activity diagram defined for the template.
To close an activity diagram, you can perform any of the following actions:
When at least one activity diagram is open, Close All Diagrams closes all windows for activity diagrams.
There are two ways to document an activity diagram:
You can print a graphic representation of each diagram, subdiagram, and iterator. Long representations print on multiple pages. To print, do the following:
You can save the entire activity diagram as a text file. To do so:
You cannot copy an entire activity diagram apart from its scenario, but you can copy activity-diagram contents. To copy the contents of an activity diagram:
Note that copying is not an iterative process. If you copy and paste a subdiagram or iterator, Process Designer Express creates an empty activity diagram in the scenario tree, subordinate to the current diagram, to represent the subdiagram or iterator diagram. You must manually copy and paste the contents of the subdiagrams and iterator diagrams. If a break symbol is selected in an iterator node during the copy operation, it can be pasted only in another iterator node.
To delete a symbol within an activity diagram, select the symbol to delete and take one of the following actions:
To delete an entire activity diagram, delete the scenario in which the activity diagram is defined. For more information, see "Deleting a scenario". For a scenario with subdiagrams or iterators, you can delete the subdiagram or iterator by deleting its symbol from its parent diagram.
