Chapter 2 How to Model a Simple Business Process in TIBCO Business Studio for Analysts : Defining an Organization Model for the Process

Defining an Organization Model for the Process
Key Points
An organization model captures and defines information about how an enterprise is organized. The model represents the different entities in the organization (such as positions, organization units or groups), their organizational structure and the relationships between them.
The model can also describe characteristics that can be possessed by those entities—such as privileges, capabilities or location—but this simple tutorial does not include any of these characteristics.
A process designer can use the information defined by the organization model to ensure that the process sends the right work to the right people at the right time.
Only entities defined in the organization model can be assigned (as participants) to perform user tasks in processes. See Adding a Position as a Participant to the Process.
