Creating or Importing an Organization Model

Organization models are created using the Organization Modeler.

An organization model can exist in the same project as a process that uses it, or it can reside in a different project. In the latter case, the project containing the organization model should be selected as a Project Reference (see Referencing Other Projects).

Note: An organization model can only be placed in a special folder marked as an Organization Models Folder. Organization Models folders are marked in Project Explorer with this icon .

Once the organization model has been created, it can be used to define participants in the process. See Assigning Participants to a User Task.

Importing an Existing Organization Model

You can either:

  • import a complete project that contains an organization model, or
  • import an organization model (.om) file into an Organization Models special folder in a project.
    Note: This folder must be a special folder defined as an Organization Models folder. If the folder is not already properly configured, right-click it and select Special Folders > Use as Organization Models Folder.
