Business process re-engineering tutorial by Draw Libre Office in BPMN language for management engineers and business Architects, industrial engineers, information engineers, system engineers.

1. BPMN - Tutorial
Style: Default
Style: Accent 2
Call Activity
Styles All BPMN gallery items has
styles support so the shapes will follow
the Default and Accent 2 style from your
draw/impress template.
Users can change the BPMN diagram
by edit Default and Accent 2 style.
Direct formatting BPMN gallery items
use 11px font size to fit well in writer
and draw. Bold borders have 0,10 mm
line width.
Grid As all LibreOffice gallery items the
BPMN symbols fit perfect into the
default grid
- 1x1 cm with 4 subsections
- 0.5x0.5‘‘ with 5 subsections
BPMN gallery gallery items store the
styles as direct formatting style, so
when you move an gallery item into the
page click Format → Clear Direct
Formatting and the gallery items use the
defined styles.
Style Examples you can play around
with Default and Accent 2 style to get
nice symbols for example

3. BPMN - Events
None: Untyped events, indicate
start point, state of changes or
final states
Message: Receiving and
sending messages
Timer: Cyclic timer events,
points in time, time spans, or
timeouts
Escalation: Escalating to a
higher level of responsibility
Conditional: Reacting to
changed business conditions
or integrating business rules
Link: Off-page connectors. Two
corresponding link events equal
a sequence flow
Error: Catching or throwing
named errors
Cancel: Reacting to cancelled
transactions or triggering
cancellations
Compensation: Handling or
triggering compensation
Signal: Signaling across diff.
processes. A signal thrown can
be caught multiple times
Multiple: Catching one out of a
set of events. Throwing all
events defined
Parallel Multiple: Catching all
out of a set of parallel events
Terminate: Triggering the
immediate termination of a
process

4. Exclusive (XOR)
Split: routes sequence flow to a
precise outgoing branch.
Merge: waits for one incoming
branch to finish before triggering an
otugoing flow.
A gateway is represented with a diamond shape and determines forking and merging of paths, depending on the
conditions expressed.
Inclusive (OR/AND) One or more
branches are activated when splitting.
All active incoming branches must
complete before merging.
Parallel (AND)
When splitting sequence flow:
outgoing branches are initiated
simultaneously.
When merging parallel branches: the
gateway waits for all incoming
branches to finish before triggering
outgoing flow
Complex Gateways that represent
actions not capture by other gateways.
Can be complex, merging or branching
actions/behaviors.
Exclusive Event Based Each
occurrence of a subsequent event
starts a new process instant.
Parallel Event Based Two parallel
processes are started based on an
event, but there is no evaluation of the
event.
Event Based The condition determining
the path of a process is based on an
evaluated event.

Task is an atomic activity within
a process flow. A task is used
when the work in a process
cannot be broken down into
finer levels of detail
Transaction is a specialized
type of sub-process whose
special behavior is controlled
through a transaction protocol.
Event SubProcess may occur
many times. Unlike the standard
SubProcess that uses the flow of
the parent process as a trigger, it
has a Start Event as a trigger.
Group is used to group different
activities but does not affect the
flow in the diagram
Call Activity identifies a point in
a process where a global
process is used. The Call Activity
acts as a ‘wrapper’ for the
invocation of the global process
within the execution.
Activity Markers
indicate executive
behaviour of activities.
Task Types specify the
nature of the action to
be preformed.

7. Data Object element can
optionally reference a Data State
element, which is the state of data
contained in a Data Object
Data Input is an external input for
the whole process
Data Output is a data result of the
whole process
Data Store provides a mechanism for
activities to retrieve or update stored
information that will persist beyond the
scope of a process
Collection Data Object represents
collections of information
