Packages

A package is a mandatory container for processes and their infrastructure (such as participants and data fields).

The package and any processes stored in it are saved in XPDL format.

For example, in the insurance environment, separate packages could contain the processes used by the Claims Department, the Policy Origination/Maintenance Team and the IT Department. Processes can be shared between packages and projects so libraries of process components can be created and reused.

Note: If the Data Fields folder is empty, it will be hidden by default. This is because the preferred usage is to define Data Fields at the Process level.
