Subscription Resources

Overview

Bizagi Modeler allows you to share objects, such as Resources and extended attributes across models. This means that these objects can be used across all models in the subscription. Only users with the subscription owner role can manage these objects.

 

As a subscription owner you can import and delete resources on the company Process Library. Resources must be exported from the desktop application. Once a resource is imported it will be available for all the models in the subscription, at the same time, these resources cannot be edited from the desktop application. When you delete a resource, it will no longer be available for the models in your subscription. However, said deleted resource will not be deleted from the models using it.
