A number of options are available in the Manage Variants window. To access the Manage Variants window, right-click the drill down on the activity and choose Manage Variants.
You can reorder the list of variants. This will change the order of variants presented to users when they access the drill down.
1.In the Manage Variants window, select the variant that you want to move and click either Move Up or Move Down.
You can create a new map in the current process repository from a process variant.
1.Select the variant that you want to create a map from and click Export.
2.Choose a location in the process repository to save the exported map to.
3.In the Export Name text box enter the name for the new map, and then click OK.
Remove lower levels after export will delete the lower level diagrams from the map that you are exporting from (these can be restored using the Deletion Recover Manager if required).
Redirecting Links You may be asked if you want to redirect diagram links, depending on your user preferences. One thing to consider when you export a process variant but choose not to remove the lower levels is where you want any diagram links (sign posts, flow-line links and diagram link attachments) and users' To-do items to point to after the export. An option in your user preferences - Show diagram link redirection prompt - allows you to choose to redirect diagram links and move users' To-do items to the exported diagrams during the process. If you do not enable this option then diagram links and To-do items will be maintained on the original diagrams.
Below is a table showing what happens to data when exporting a process variant. Note that metadata refers to feedback, change requests, logs, users (authorizers, reviewers, acknowledgers) and access rights.
* This option requires the Show diagram link redirection prompt to be enabled in your user preferences.
1.Select the variant that you want to create a packaged map from and click Export As Package.
2.In the Export Name field, enter a name for the packaged map.
Remove lower levels after export will delete all lower levels in the process variant. Include attachments will include all file and document links.
3.Click Next.
4.Choose a location to save the packaged map to and click Next.
5.Choose one of the following options and click OK:
•Internal backup or transfer should be selected if the content is only for re-use or for an internal backup. All personal information will be maintained. This option should not be selected if you intend the content to be transferred to a third party as doing so will breach data-privacy regulations. •Received from TIBCO Nimbus for support purposes should be selected if the content was originally sent from your company and received back from Nimbus®. All personal information will be maintained. Do not select this option if you are not certain of the origin of the content. •Received from an external company or organization should be selected if the content has been received from an external company or organization. All personal information will be removed from the content. •Unknown should be selected if the source of the content is unknown. All personal information will be removed from the content.
You can switch variant types. Note that only one standard process can exist, although you can have no standard processes if you wish. If you switch a variant to a standard type, the existing standard process will be automatically changed to a variant.
1.Select the variant that you want to change and click Change Type.
1.Select the variant that you want to delete and click Delete.
