    Having designed a process, you can manage it through its different stages (Draft, Pilot, Published), as well as manage its defition such as name, access rights and case numbering. This can be done through the Manage Live Process dashboard.

    Attribute management

    Bizagi lets you identify all the attributes in a process, and delete them when it is in Draft state by selecting the Attribute management option.

     

    ManageAttrib01

     

    A window appears with all the process attributes. To delete an attribute hover the mouse cursor over its name and click the trash can icon that appears.

     

    ManageAttrib02

     

    If the attribute has dependencies (its being used somewhere), it will not be deleted and all of its dependencies will be listed. To delete the attribute you'll have to remove all of its dependencies.

     

    ManageAttrib03

     

    When the attribute has no dependencies, a message appears informing that the deletion was successful.

     

    ManageAttrib04

     

    Deleting a Live Process

    Live Processes can be deleted in Draft and Pilot states. You will be prompted with a message stating that the deletion of a Live Process cannot be undone.

     

    Disabling and enabling case creation

    Bizagi lets you disable the case creation when processes are in Pilot or Published state. When case creation is disabled authorized users will no longer be able to create new case instances, without affecting cases which are already created.

    Case creation can be disabled at any time. To do so, click the process's three dot menu and select the option Disable case creation.

    Bizagi shows a confirmation window, click Accept.

     

    disable_case02

     

    Disabled processes are shown in a light gray color. This procedure doesn't affect ongoing cases.

     

    disable_case03

     

    To re-enable your process for case creation, click the three dot menu and select the option Enable case creation. Then click Accept in the confirmation dialog.

     

    disable_case04

    Promoting your processes from Pilot to Published while disabled will change their state, but they will remain disabled.

     

    Organizing your processes

    The Live process management dashboard offers different ways to view your processes or filter them. Your processes are organized by their state by default.

    Bizagi offers Advanced filters to help you sort your processes and find what you need. You can filter your processes by name, creation date, category, status and whether or not case creation is enabled.
