Workflow Modeler

New and Improved Features:

• Various usability improvements on the Quick Connect arrows:
  • When hovering a shape then quickly hovering one of the arrow, the quick connect did not always disappear.
  • When quickly dragging a quick arrow, sometimes it would not register.
  • When more than one shape is in the quick arrow direction, if one of them is not connected, the quick arrow will now appear.
  • The quick arrow now stays longer after you stop hovering a shape so that you can click them more easily.
• The FEEL auto completion suggestions are now context sensitive to complex types.
• When copying an element using the copy/paste feature, the copied element will now have a Copy of prefix to make it clear that it’s a copy and not the same element.

Bug fixes:

• Some labels position were not properly saved on models with multiple pages under certain conditions.
• Sub process with lanes were not properly exported to BPMN XML.
• Edges dropped from the palette were incorrectly moved to the top left of the diagram.
• When exporting the report, sometimes blank lines were added around the project charter information.

Bug fixes:

• Some label positions were not properly saved using Internet Explorer 11 and Edge.
• Fixed an issue that would prevent the proper serialization to XML of boundary events extensions.
• We can now recover from a graphical bpmn element depicting an unknown plane when importing a BPMN XML model.
• Collaboration with the content of a sub-process did not properly serialize in XML.

New and Improved Features:

• Task type icons (message, service, script…) can now be clicked to access the appropriate detail.

Bug fixes:

• Corrected the invalid BPMN XML generated when a choreography task was depicted inside a sub-process.
• Some diagram containing choreography were incorrectly serialized in BPMN XML.

New and Improved Features:

• The attribute Direction on Gateways was removed. It is now deducted from the number of inputs and outputs of the gateway.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a BPMN XML serialization issue that affected Internet Explorer 11 in certain conditions.
• When exporting a Word document, for certain documentation construct, the layout was not properly respected for the description attribute.
• Addressed some edge cases of importing an XSD as Data Types where unions, choice and extension of simpleType were used.
• Changing the color of an edge did not take effect until a movement occurred.
• Collection icon was missing in the report for some data types.

New and Improved Features:

• A search bar is now available in the Data Types dialog.
• Data Types import from an XSD improvements:
  • XSD complex types are now imported.
  • XSD complex types reused in element and complex type will now yield a Data Type reuse instead of a copy of the type.
  • Import speed and memory consumption.

Bug fixes:

• Identifier can now be added to call activities.

New and Improved Features:

• A new description overlay is now available. When toggled on (through the overlay panel), a text icon will appear in the bottom right of the shape if a description is entered. Hovering on that icon will display the description.

Bug fixes:

• Link created with the quick connect arrow between two tasks in different lanes now generate a sequence flow instead of a message flow
• The buttons to change color will now always display the current color of the selected element.
• Data Type with the collection attribute will now always display the collection icon in the report.
• The Identifier overlay will not overlap with other overlays in certain conditions.
• The page order was not always saved in certain conditions.

New and Improved Features:

• This new version brings major improvements in our modeling platform. These will be gradually exposed through new features in 6.X future releases. This version is fully backward compatible with the 5.X version from a user point of view.
• The reporting (html and word) was improved to allow users to export the documentation elements in a user defined order:
  • Each shape now has the concept of an Identifier. This identifier has a numeric value with dots (1, 1.6, 1.0.5.6, …).
  • You can set the identifier of elements using the right click contextual menu under Attributes then Identifier.
  • There is also a new overlay available called Identifier that will display the current identifier (or a dash if none is currently set) in the top left corner of the element.
  • Using the overlay, you can click on the identifier to quickly enter a value.
  • In the documentation export dialog, you will now find an option to change the Sort Order and use By Identifier.
  • Note that exporting using the By Identifier ordering will not output elements that have no identifier defined.
• Defining a global task is now easier than before. Global tasks are now located under the Manage Hidden Items of the BPMN ribbon.
• Adding lanes and pools in a sub-process diagram is now supported.
• BPMN Validation is now available in French.
• Method and Style Validation is now available in French.

Bug fixes:

• When changing the type of a choreography task, participant bands are not lost anymore.
• The type of a call activity is kept (calling a global task or a process) even when the actual target is not yet defined after a save/load.
• Attachments on diagrams are now properly saved to the BPMN XML file.
• When deleting a page, some graph relationship were not properly deleted.
• When collapsing a sub-process with flow attached to it, it would sometime disconnect the flows.

New and Improved Features:

• Improved the loading time on the first use of the accelerator panel.

New and Improved Features:

• Search in the accelerator panel can now be filtered by element type.

Bug fixes:

• Improved our cycle detection handling in the XSD import for data types.

New and Improved Features:

• XSD import for Data Types now support includes and import.You can now drag multiple files when an XSD import/includes other schemas.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed some edge cases of dragging artifacts with data types on the canvas from an accelerator.
• Various improvements to the XSD Data Type import such as:
  • Add support for nested group element (xs:group, xs:choice, xs:sequence)
  • Add support enumeration for indirect built-in type (eg: simpleType referencing to a built-in type)
  • And more smaller issues…

New and Improved Features:

• Dragging an artifact from an accelerator such as the Digital Enterprise Graph will also copy the Data Type associated with that artifact.
• You can now search in the accelerator window.

New and Improved Features:

• It is now possible to reorder the data types in the Data Type dialog by dragging and dropping them.

Bug Fixes:

• Data types are now included in the documentation.

New and Improved Features:

• While defining data types, it is now possible to expand inline other complex types that are part of the structure. Previously, they opened in a separate dialog.

Bug Fixes:

• When using the XSD import, we have improved the error messages when dealing with incomplete types, imports and includes.

New and Improved Features:

• Data Types can now be imported from an XML Schema file (XSD). When doing that import, elements defined in the XSD file will be imported as a data type.
• Structure inside a data type can now be refactored as a first level data type by clicking on the black arrow in the right of an embedded structure and selecting Refactor as a Type from the dropdown menu.
• For performance consideration, large data type are collapsed (with a show more button to expand) by default when accessing them.

Bug Fixes:

• Visio import improved support for orphean shapes without master stencils.

New and Improved Features:

• You can now simply assign Data Types for Data Objects and Data Stores directly from a shortcut under Attributes -> Data Type in the contextual menu.
• You can now have access to some basic file information through the ribbon using File -> Info.

Bug Fixes:

• Page tabs with extremely long name would sometime hide the All tab.
• When exporting a group with a background color in edge, that color would be painted over the content.
