Before You Begin

Before you begin to create your first process model, it is recommended that you first study the Enterprise Process Modeler Guide and explore preexisting process models. This helps you become familiar with the components of a process model and the experience that your process owners have when using the process model.

You should also have deep knowledge of:

• The business process for which you are designing a process model, including any subprocesses.
• The steps or statuses (nodes) that define the process, and the relationships (links) between those steps.
• The source of the data (data providers), such as EnterpriseOne tables, business views, logic extensions, or orchestrations that will be the basis for the metrics, analytics, and runtime options (Data Filtering and Grouping Options).
• Ideas about what metrics and analytics would be most useful for your process owners, and what data is needed to create the charts and graphs.
