SAP Signavio Process Manager - Attribute Visualization for attributes in dictionary entries

[DamarisF]

Hello!

For each process in the process architecture, I have created an entry in the dictionary within the Process category. I associated attributes such as country, business, criticality, etc. to this entry.

In the Value Chain diagram, I have created a collapsed process object for each of the processes at the respective level of the hierarchy. When I consult the list of properties of these objects, I can see the attributes I created in the dictionary with their respective values.

However, these attributes do not appear as available in the visualization layers configuration, only the attributes linked directly to the diagram object. How can I create visualization rules for these attributes linked to dictionary entries?

Thanks in advance

Hello Damaris,

a few weeks ago I had a similar problem. I solved it by reusing the attribute I wanted to visualise on the BPMN object. See the screenshot below. (Sorry, it is in German) There you can see that this attribute is used in the glossary and in the BPMN objects. When you do this, the attribute appears in the visualisation context menu and you can use it.

Best regards

Hi! Thank you very much for your answer. I tried to do this. I added the country attribute, for example, as an attribute of the collapsed process - and this works for visualization. However, in the properties of the collapsed process in the diagram, this attribute associated with the object overrides the value I registered for this same attribute in the dictionary entry. How did you resolve this issue? Thanks again

Hi, your welcome. You should leave the field in the process blank. Then it should get the information out of the glossary.

Thank you very much! I tested it and it worked perfectly.
