Presentation mode and Presentation actions

Overview

Bizagi allows you to demonstrate your models through the Presentation Mode where a full display view, in read-only mode is used, similar to the Full screen view in Microsoft products.

 

In Presentation Mode you can access the main characteristics of your processes, all the documentation you have included and also add Presentation Actions.

Presentation actions are on-click behaviors that can be defined for each diagram element. Behaviors are additional information that you can add to each element to make the process presentation more complete, for example you can open a URL, a file, an image or display text.

Presentation Mode and Presentation Actions example

To illustrate the Presentation mode and actions, our example presumes that we have finished our Purchase Request Process and now have to present it to the Purchase Department Manager.

Apart from showing him the process flow and its content we also wish to show the following items in the presentation:

 

An associated file of a Purchase Request creation

The Policies published in the intranet for requesting and evaluating quotations

The text contained in the Rejection notification by clicking on the Notify Rejection element.

 

The following steps illustrate how we created of Presentation actions and the Presentation Actions Mode.
