- This service imports any visio file by mapping the visio shapes in your drawing to BPMN shapes. You will experience varying level of success in the mapping depending on the shapes you have used in your drawing. For optimal results, you can use the Trisotech BPMN Modeler for Visio.Processing Assumptions
- BPMN shape detection is best guessed from the shapes in your drawing, unless it is part of Trisotech BPMN Modeler for Visio, Microsoft BPMN stencil, Microsoft EPC stencil or ITP Commerce.
(The structure of other 3rd party shape vendor is unknown) - Unrecognized shapes are mapped to tasks or sequence flows.
- One Workflow Process is created for each page having content in the Visio document with the following exceptions: If a page contains more than one pool with content, then one Workflow Process by pool is created. If matching link event can be found between pages and if those link events are in no pool or in a pool with the same name, then they are considered to be the same process and their parent pool are considered to be the same pool.
- One pool with invisible border is created for process having nodes that are not contained by a pool.
- Black box pools having the same name and the same multi-instance value on different pages are considered to be the same pool.
- Elements are considered to be inside a container if their center is inside of it.
- Intermediate events found on the border of a sub-process or task are considered attached to it if their middle point is on the parent's borders.
- BPMN shape detection is best guessed from the shapes in your drawing, unless it is part of Trisotech BPMN Modeler for Visio, Microsoft BPMN stencil, Microsoft EPC stencil or ITP Commerce.
