Common AgilePart Tasks

Collapse/Expand Shape

Right-clicking the shape brings up the Collapse menu action. Clicking it collapses the shape to a small circle. Right-clicking a collapsed shape shows the Expand menu item, restoring the shape to its original form.

Use Collapse shape to minimize the visual effect of steps in the process which are not of any interest to the Business User.

Add/Remove Timer

Right-clicking the shape brings up the Add Timer menu action. Clicking it adds a timer to the shape, allowing the process modeler to add an alternative route out of the shape when the configured Time Span times out.

Right-clicking a shape with a Timer shows a Remove Timer menu action, which would remove the timer from the shape.
