Creating Statement Sets from Maps

Statement sets can be created and updated from process maps.

Business Rules:

•You must have a map open at the top-level source diagram (i.e. the diagram that will be level 1 of the statement set)

•When creating a new statement set, activities in child diagrams will be created as child nodes in the statement set (for example, the first activity in the child diagram to the current top-level diagram will be statement number 1.1)

•Statement names must be unique, therefore if duplicate text exists on activities, incremental numbers are appended onto duplicate statement names

•The activity's list of resources and information in any notes bubbles are imported into the statement's descriptions

•When updating a statement set, all existing imported attachments will be removed in the statement set and replaced by the attachments in the map

•A backup of the existing statement set is taken and stored in ...\System\Statements\Backup\
