The tables behind Business Process Modeler

Business Process Modeler ships with 14 tables, grouped here by the feature that uses them. Every record your team works with lives in one of them, and you can add fields and tables in Proto.

How the model is organised

Configuration:

Organizations, People and simulation scenarios establish scope and assumption basis; source mappings records conversion rules.

Modeling:

Process models carries revisions and lifecycle state; process nodes records ordered observations.

Execution:

Operation runs, operation steps and execution attempts retain the action trace and external references.

Review:

Review decisions, evidence documents, follow up actions and state history retain decisions, proof, assignments and transitions.

Access:

Users holds account records.

Keys and references

A process models record links to its Organization, Owner and Definition. Process nodes connects to its Parent model. Operation runs points to the Source model, while operation steps points to its Run. Review decisions, evidence documents, follow up actions and state history all connect to the source model. The model number and revision identify the business version; an operation key and source revision identify the execution being investigated.

Migration order

  1. Organizations and people. Establish owning entities and operators.
  2. Scenarios and mappings. Create assumption sets and reviewed field conversions.
  3. Models and nodes. Import current revisions before their ordered observations.
  4. Runs and evidence. Bring over operation history with its original source references and receipts.
  5. Decisions and follow-ups. Reconcile reviewer decisions, status history and assigned verification work against the imported revisions.
