====== Use process modules ====== | ====== Use process modules ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | To efficiently manage a large process landscape, it can be broken down into modules. These modules can be connected via interfaces. Process modules can form a hierarchy or process architecture. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Typical process modules are Requirements Engineering, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The only difference between a process and a process module is that a process module can be added to other processes or process modules, whereas a process can not be added anywhere else. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Define a process module ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A process module resides in a workspace just like a normal process. In fact, the only thing that differentiates process modules from processes is this setting, which can be changed via the '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | SCREENSHOT | ||

+ | If this setting is set to " | ||

+ | ===== Adding process modules to a process ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Only specific versions of process modules can be added to other processes. This increases the consistency within your process architecture. Before adding modules to another process, a process version needs to be created for each one of them. See [[: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Although it is technically possible to add the Working Version of a module to a process, it is not recommended to do so, because the content in the Working Version can change, so you do not know which version of the module content is being added. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To add modules to a process, switch to the process you would like to add the modules to, and go to the '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | SCREENSHOT: modules main dialog | ||

+ | In the first tab, you can find the list of already added modules. In the second tab you can find the list of processes that the current module has been added to. | ||

+ | ===== Create a new process from process modules ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Create new workspace | ||
