Using Sub-Processes

Sub-Process are child processes of a higher-level (or a parent) process flow. In the workflow context, a sub-process is also a process model (just like the parent process) and a sub-process can have sub-processes under it. Once you add an Activity in the Adeptia Modeler, you can perform the following changes on it:

• Change an Activity to a Sub-Process step
• Attach a sub-process to that step
• View the sub-process

Steps to change an Activity into a Sub-Process step

1. Click on the Activity element that you want to change to a sub-process.
2. Right click on the activity and then select Type > Sub-Process.

Steps to attach a sub-process

1. Click on the Activity element that has been changed to sub-process type.
2. Right click on the activity and then select Attach Sub-Process.
3. Select the process model that you want to attach as a sub-process.

Steps to open and view a sub-process

1. Click on the Activity element that has been changed to sub-process type.
2. Right click on the activity and then select Open Sub-Process. The sub-process is opened in a new window of the Adeptia Modeler.
