IndustryPrint Structure
IndustryPrints are Deloittes collection of business process models, which may only be accessed by
Deloitte practitioners. When an IndustryPrint is customized for a client, it is called a ClientPrint.
IndustryPrints have a hierarchical structure. At the top level, an IndustryPrint consists of process groups
that are collections of functionally related processes, such as Perform Order Management.
Each process group consists of one or more processes, such as Pick Orders. A process is composed of a
graphical process model, of which tasks are the basic building blocks. The three levels of IndustryPrints
(process group, process, and task) are illustrated below.

Working with Process Models
BPMN Modeling Overview
Process models can be used for a variety of purposes, such as process improvement and redesign,
activity-based costing, package selection and implementation, analysis of compliance issues, and
performance evaluation.
It is important to use a modeling technique that is clear and well-defined. IndustryPrint Process Modeler
uses a modeling technique that is based on a standard called Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)
with a small set of basic notions: task, subprocess, event, gateway, swimlane, connecting object, data
object, group, and annotation.
Note: For more information, click www.bpmn.org.

Construction Graphic Representation
A task is represented by a rounded rectangle and
represents an atomic amount of work.

A subprocess is represented by a rounded rectangle with a
plus sign (+) and represents work consisting of one or more
subtasks.

A start event is represented by a circle and is the trigger
that starts the execution of a process.

An intermediate event is represented by a double-line
circle and is often used to model a state during the
execution of the process.

An end event is represented by a circle with a bold border
and marks the end of the process.

A swimlane is used to organize activities into separate
visual categories to illustrate different functional capabilities
or responsibilities.

A data object is used to model how data is required or
produced by activities (for example, a document or a
database). Data objects are connected to activities through
associations.

An annotation is used to add text notes to a BPMN
diagram.
A group is used to group different activities, but it does not
affect the flow in the diagram.

A gateway is represented by a diamond shape and is used
to control the divergence and convergence of the case flow
through the process model. To define the behavior of a
gateway, a marking can be added to the internal of the

Construction Graphic Representation
gateway.

The types of gateways are:
Data-Based Decision (XOR): Conditional routing -
when there is a choice between two adjacent tasks

Event-Based Gateway: Conditional routing - when an
event determines the choice between two adjacent
tasks

Parallel Fork (AND): Parallel routing - when two (or
more) adjacent tasks must both be executed

A sequence flow is represented by a solid line with a solid
arrow head and is used to model the sequential order in
which activities are performed.

An association is represented by a dotted line with a line
arrow head and is used to associate data, text, and other
artifacts with flow objects.


IP Process Model Toolbar Overview
To see the functions for each icon of the toolbar, hold the mouse over the icon.


Drawing Objects
1. To open IndustryPrint Process Modeler, click Windows Start menu > All Programs > Deloitte >
IndustryPrint Process Modeler.
The left part of the window consists of the drawing area where you create process models. The right
part of the window contains the BPMN building blocks, which you use to draw models, and the process
hierarchy, which is used for navigation.

2. To add a building block to the process model, click the desired icon and drag it to the drawing area.
A sample window displays start and end events, four tasks, one gateway, and a data object.


Drawing Connectors
1. To connect two objects, click the first (source) object.
A red outline appears around it.

2. Press and hold the Ctrl key and click the second (target) object.
A connector appears between the two objects. If the connector is between two flow objects (events,
activities, gateways), a sequence flow is created. If the connector is to a data object or annotation, an
association is created. By default, connectors are created as straight lines. You can add points to a
connector line that directs the line around other objects.

Note: The target of an intermediate event (or link) can be any process, subprocess, or task in the
print without regard to level.
3. To add a point to a connector, right-click the connector and click Add Point from the popup menu.

A red dot appears on the connector.
4. Use the mouse to drag the red dot to a new position or right-click the connector and click Re-Route.
A multi-line connector appears. The red dots disappear when you select another object in the diagram
and reappear when you select the connector again.


5. To delete a connector, right-click the connector and click Delete.
6. To show the flow in both directions between two objects, right-click the connector and click Bidirectional.


Deleting Objects and Connectors
The three ways to delete an object or connector are:
Right-click the object. Click Delete from the popup menu.
The selected object is deleted. When you delete an object, all connectors to and from that object are
deleted.

Note: The Process Modeler does not ask for a confirmation for a delete operation. However, you can
undo the delete operation with the Undo menu function (Edit > Undo) or Ctrl+Z.
Click the object. Press the Delete key.
Click the object. Select Edit > Delete.


Working with Groups of Objects
Objects can be selected individually or within a group. To select a single object (such as a task or event),
position the cursor over it and click.
Groups of objects (such as tasks and events) can be moved with the mouse or arrow keys. To move a
group of objects, you must first select them. These methods are available:
Method 1 - Click and drag a rectangle around obj ects
1. Position the cursor at one of the corners of the rectangle, click, and drag the cursor to the opposite corner.
A gray-shaded rectangle appears on the screen. When you release the mouse button, all objects are
selected, which is indicated by thick red lines around the objects.

2. When you drag one of the selected objects, all selected objects move.

Method 2 - Hold the Shift key while selecting obj ects
1. Press and hold the Shift key, and click each desired object.
The selected objects are marked by thick red lines around the objects.


Method 3 - Select all ( or most) obj ects
To select a large number of objects, you may want to select all objects.
1. To select all objects, press and hold Ctrl+A (or Edit > Select All).

2. To de-select an object you do not want to include in the group, press and hold the Shift key and click the
object.
Example:



Cutting/Copying/Pasting
It is possible to apply standard cut, copy, and paste operations to single objects in the model or to a
selection of objects in the model. To apply one of these functions, first make a selection. The four ways to
cut, copy, or paste objects in a drawing are:
Click the object. Use a keyboard shortcut:
- CTRL-X (Cut)
- CTRL-C (Copy)
- CTRL-V (Paste)
Click the object. Use a menu command (Edit > Cut, Edit > Copy, or Edit > Paste).
Click the object. Click an icon on the toolbar:

Right-click the object. Use a popup menu command.

Copying Across Models
You can copy and paste across models within an IndustryPrint Process Model session using these
guidelines:
Copy and paste across models within a single I P file.
Copy and paste from one I P file to another I P file as long as it is within the same session.
(Open the first IP file and copy. Close the first IP file. Open the second IP file and paste).


Changing Tasks into Gateways
1. To change a task into a gateway, right-click the desired task.
2. From the popup menu, click the option Convert to Gateway.


Changing Gateways into Tasks
1. To change a gateway into a task, right-click the desired gateway.
2. From the popup menu, click the option Convert to Task.


Aligning and Distributing Objects
Objects can be aligned automatically in either a horizontal or vertical direction. Similarly, objects can be
automatically distributed in either a horizontal or vertical direction.
1. To align a group of objects, select the desired objects.
2. For horizontal alignment, click Edit > Align Selection > Horizontal.

3. For vertical alignment, click Edit > Align Selection > Vertical.

4. To distribute a group of objects, select the desired objects.
5. For horizontal distribution, click Edit > Distribute Selection > Horizontal.


6. For vertical distribution, click Edit > Distribute Selection > Vertical.


Undoing Changes
1. To undo the last change, press and hold Ctrl+Z (or click Edit > Undo).
IndustryPrint Process Modeler is able to undo the last 30 changes you have made to the model.


Adding Subprocesses
Complex process models can become too large for one diagram. The use of subprocesses allows you to
define a high-level model by smaller units with one or more tasks. With this framework, a task is a
complete process model in itself.
1. To create a subprocess, drag the corresponding building block to the drawing area.
2. Double-click a subprocess.
The current process model disappears from the window and the process model associated with the
subprocess appears on the window.
3. If you have already created a task that you want to convert to a subprocess, right-click the task.
4. From the popup menu, click Create Subprocess.

The task is replaced by a subprocess, and the new subprocess opens in the drawing area. When the
task that you converted has input and output tasks or events, they are included in the subprocess.
These input and output events are connection points to the parent model.
5. To create other subprocesses for this task or for other tasks, repeat steps 3 and 4.
You can create as many levels of subprocesses as desired. Usually, the number of levels is limited to
three or four. By defining subprocesses, you create a tree of models in which one model is always the
root.
6. To use an existing process model file to fill the subprocess, right-click the subprocess.
7. From the popup menu, click Fill Subprocess from File.


8. To see the objects within the subprocess, double-click the subprocess or click Browse Subprocess from
the popup menu.
9. To reorder the task IP codes, refer to Numbering and Renumbering Process Objects.
Renumbering process objects manually is an option. IndustryPrint will automatically renumber objects
when additions or deletions are made to a model.
10. To navigate to a subprocess, double-click the task in the parent model.
You can also use the Hierarchy tree to navigate subprocesses. The Hierarchy tree is shown in the
lower right corner of the window.

11. To display a subprocess, click its name in the Hierarchy tree.


Working with Swimlanes
Some processes involve multiple organizational entities. An organizational entity can be a role, a
department, a business unit, or an entire organization. It is possible to model the distribution of the
process over the involved organizational entities using the BPMN standard concept of swimlanes.
To use swimlanes, you first create a swimlane for each organizational entity that is involved in the
process. Swimlanes are also available for subprocess flows.
1. To create a swimlane, drag it from the tool palette to the drawing area.
2. To change the name of a swimlane, right-click the name shown at the left of the window.
The example displays three swimlanes (sales department, credit control, and production planning).

3. After creating the swimlanes, draw the process model, using the following conventions:
The process flow is in horizontal direction, from left to right.
Each task and each gateway is placed in the swimlane of the organizational unit that is
responsible for executing that activity.

Each time the process flow crosses the border of organizational entities, an intermediate event is
used to model the transfer of work.
A sample process model appears.

4. To resize a swimlane, click the object's border, and drag the handles to the desired position.


Working with Groups
You can use groups to draw a dotted line around related objects in a flow and label them. Groups are used
to annotate a set of tasks without affecting the flow of logic represented in the diagram.
1. To create a group, drag it from the tool palette to the drawing area.
2. To add or change the name of a group, right-click its red border.

3. To resize the group, click the object's border, and drag the handles to the desired position.


Finding Objects
The Find functionality can be used in a process model or an entire IndustryPrint. You can search for
specific elements, such as specific process types, process groups, roles, functional groups, data elements,
software, solutions, applications, collaborations, text strings, or IP codes. Your search can include any
combination of these elements. For an IndustryPrint, you can view results at the process level only or
include all BPMN elements in your results.
1. To access the Find functionality, click Edit > Find.
Note: You can also click the Find icon below the menu bar or press CTRL+F.
2. From the Search dialog box, enter your search criteria into the respective fields (for example, software
type).

Search criteria can be entered in all fields, if required.
Note: By default, the Tasks and other BPMN Elements checkbox is checked. This displays all BPMN
elements that match the search criteria. To list processes only, uncheck this check box.
3. Click Search.
The dialog box displays all matches (processes, tasks, events, gateways, and so forth) for your
criteria. The results are sorted by IP code.


4. To sort the results by a different column heading, click a column heading in the Title row. To return to its
original order, click the column heading again.

5. To change the width of a column, place the cursor in the Title row of the match results. When the double
arrow appears, click and drag the column line to the desired width.
6. To view a specific match in the model, double-click the Arrow icon in the desired row.
The task (Maintain Tax/Tax on Alcohol Master Records, in this example) that contains the selected
match is outlined in red.


7. To save these search results as a text file, click Save Results.
8. To remove the existing search criteria and start a new search, click New search.

Note: The Export command is context-sensitive. Thus, for this example, the whole IndustryPrint is
exported.
4. From the File Download dialog box, to save the file to your local file system, click Save.

You can download models at any level (IndustryPrint, process group, or process). The levels have
different formats. If you download a process group or a whole print, the export option is IP (produces
a .IP) file, which is a composite file of all the BPMN models. If you download a process model, the
export option is BPMN (produces a .BPMN file).
5. To open the IP file, double-click the file from Windows Explorer.
This action starts IndustryPrint Process Modeler.

Downloading a Process
1. From the home page of the IndustryPrint Process Repository, click the desired industry in the list.

select New Process Group.

2. From the New Process Group dialog box, enter the appropriate information in the Name, Description, and
Abbreviation fields.

In IndustryPrint, the following conventions are used:
Operational process groups have a one-letter abbreviation
Infrastructure process groups have a two-letter abbreviation
Collaborative process groups have a three-letter abbreviation with "C" as the first letter
3. Select the process type which applies to the process group.
4. To add hyperlinks to the process group, click the Hyperlinks tab and click New.
5. From the Hyperlink Edit dialog box, complete the fields and click OK.
6. To save and exit, click OK.
When you create a process group, it automatically appears in the Process Group Decomposition
window. The process groups are clustered according to process type and are sorted alphabetically.
Note: The process color changes from gray to yellow when you create a process for it.

7. You are now ready to create one or more processes.
Note: The default setting for the Process Overview window shows one process group (View >
Process Groups > View One Process Group). You can change the setting on your PC by selecting View
> Process Groups > View All Process Groups.

Creating Processes
Prerequisites
A process group must be created before creating processes.
For information about creating a process group, click here.

1. From the Process Group window, double-click a process group.
The process groups appear at the top of the window, and the processes belonging to each process
group appear below the corresponding process group.
2. To add a process to a process group, right-click the process group and select New Process from the popup
menu.

3. From the Properties dialog box, enter a name and a description (optional field) and change the IP code, if
necessary.


Note 1: The IP code is generated automatically, using the IP code of the parent process group and
the next available number (the numbers increment by tens). However, you can change the numeric
portion of the IP code. For example, you might want to change it if you add a process that needs to
appear sequentially between two existing processes instead of at the end of the list.
Note 2: The Process Group field can be used to associate a process with a different process group.
This field appears only in the Process Group Overview.
4. To add hyperlinks to the process, click the Hyperlinks tab and click New.
5. From the Hyperlink Edit dialog box, complete the fields and click OK.
6. To save and exit, click OK.
The new process appears under the process group with a gray background to indicate that no process
model has been defined for it yet.

Note: The process color changes from gray to yellow when you create a process model for it.

7. You are now ready to create a process model in one of the following ways:
For more information about drawing the process in IndustryPrint Process Modeler, refer to
Creating Process Models (Task Flows).
If you have a BPMN process model from another source, you can import it instead of drawing
it. To import a BPMN process model into the drawing area, right-click the process and select Fill
Process from File from the popup menu. Select the BPMN file you want to import and click
Open. The process model is imported to the process and the process color changes to yellow.

Note: When a process is deleted, a message box appears as a reminder that links to that
process will be deleted and that the Delete action cannot be undone.


Creating Process Models (Task Flows)
Prerequisites
A process group and a process must be created before creating
process models.
For information about creating a process group, click here.
For information about creating a process, click here.

1. To open the BPMN process model editor, double-click the process for which you want to create a model.
2. Drag BPMN building blocks from the tool palette onto the drawing area to create the process model.
Note: Default IP codes are assigned to tasks when creating a new process model.
3. For more information, refer to the topics for creating diagrams in the Working with Process Models section.

4. To return to the Process Group Decomposition window, press the Backspace key or click the Up ( )
button.


Creating Links Between Processes
One process often uses inputs generated by another process or generates outputs that are used in
another process. To show a link between processes, an intermediate event of type Link is used.
Intermediate events are represented by a double-line circle . When the type Link is specified, the
circle contains an arrow .
1. To create a link between processes, add an intermediate event to the drawing area.

2. Right-click the object and select Properties.
3. Select Link and click OK.
When you select the icon, the Select button becomes active (changes from gray to black).


4. Click Select.
The Hierarchy Tree appears.


5. In the Hierarchy Tree, highlight the IP code of the desired process, subprocess, or task and click OK.
The selected IP code appears in the IP Code field, and the name of the target process object appears
in the Name field.

Note: To change the target process for an existing link event, click Select. The Hierarchy Tree
appears with the IP code of the current linked process highlighted. Highlight the IP code of the new
process and click OK.
6. Enter the appropriate information in the Description fields.
Typically, this field is used to describe the nature of the relationship between the process and the
linked process object.
Note: The application manages the changes to process object and IP codes in intermediate event
links. That is, if you create a link to a process and then change the name or IP code of the linked
process, that information is updated automatically in the properties of the link.


Ordering Processes
The order of processes in a process group is determined by the sequence number in the IP code. IP codes
are automatically generated for new processes based on the next available number, but you can change
the number if the sequence of the processes is important.
1. To move a process between two existing processes, right-click the process and click Properties.
2. Change the numerical portion of the IP code to a number that falls between the sequence numbers of the
two surrounding processes and click OK.
For example, you can place a new process between HR-010 and HR-020 by manually giving it the IP
code HR-015.
The order of processes shown in the Process Decomposition window is automatically adjusted to
display all processes in sequential order.
3. To display the IP code with the tasks, click View > Mapping > IP Codes.


Numbering and Renumbering Process Objects
If process objects are deleted or inserted between existing objects, you may, at some point, want to
renumber them to refresh the sequence numbering back to increments of ten. You can manually
renumber them by changing individual IP codes, but you can also change IP codes automatically.
The renumbering feature is available for tasks, subprocesses, and processes. This feature allows tasks
within individual subprocesses to be renumbered independently. Follow these guidelines:
The IP code for a process group can have a maximum of five letters.
The IP code for a process is composed of the parent process group abbreviation, followed by a hyphen
(-), followed by a number.
The IP code for a task or subprocess is composed of the parent IP code, followed by a hyphen (-),
followed by a number.
Note 1: It is important to consider this step carefully if the IP codes for the processes are being used as
a reference elsewhere (as they often are for other project documentation, for example). A change of IP
codes could cause confusion.
Note 2: If you manually renumber the IP code of a task, subprocess, or process, then all obj ects
cascading down below the renumbered obj ect will be automatically renumbered.
1. To renumber the processes automatically, right-click the process group.
2. From the popup menu, click Renumber Processes.
The following figure shows the same set of processes before and after the reordering of IP codes:


Note: Keep in mind that any subprocesses (and their tasks) within the process are also renumbered
when this utility is used. (Menu path: Right-click process > Renumber Task IP Codes.)


Adding Project Scope Information
Business process models are often useful in depicting project scope. For each process group and each
process, you can define the item either "in scope" or "out of scope." If you have a project with multiple
phases, you can also indicate the phase in which a process group or process becomes in scope.
Note: Project scope settings are not persistent. That is, they apply only to the current file. The default
setting for project scoping is hidden, meaning that the normal view displays when you open a file.
1. To view the scoping status, click View > Project Scoping > Show All.
The scoping statuses are represented as follows:
Status
Number
In Scope/Not in Scope Color
0 Not in scope Gray
1 In scope as of phase 1 Green
2 In scope as of phase 2 Turquoise
3 In scope as of phase 3 Blue
9 Undefined White

Note: You can change the colors associated with the scoping phases. To change the colors, select
Tools > Style Properties.
2. To set the scoping status, right-click the process group or process.
The Scope menu item in the popup menu contains all possible scoping statuses that can be assigned.
Instead of showing all process groups and processes, you can choose to display only those process
groups and processes that are in scope in (or before) phase 1, 2, or 3.

3. To view process groups and processes by scope, click View > Project Scoping > [desired menu item].


Examples of the possible views are:
Phase 1:

Phase 1 and 2:

Phase 1, 2, and 3:


Saving and Closing the Model

2. Double-click the process (in this example, HR-010 New BPMN Model):

The selected process model opens:

3. To save the model as BPMN, click File > Save This Process as BPMN.
You are prompted for a file name with the BPMN extension.
4. Type the file name and click Save.

Working with Software Mappings
Working with Software Mappings
Many organizations have or will implement software packages to support business processes. You can add
information about how the software supports processes to business process models in IndustryPrint
Process Modeler. Two basic types of information can be included:
Information that identifies the relevant functionality of the mapped software package

This type is a hierarchy that outlines or groups the softwares transactions using the generic terms
Package (highest level), Solution (second level), and Application (third level).

Some examples are:
- SAP > Warehouse Management > Pick Orders
- Eclipsys > Clinical Documentation > Medical Administration Record

Most applications have a natural and fairly standard hierarchy for grouping functionality in this way,
so it is structured as a series of lists. Because many business process models may be mapped to a
particular software package, this information is also stored as lists in the central IndustryPrint Process
Repository that can be retrieved via a Web service for reuse.
Information that describes the interaction between the software and the process in more
detail

This type is optional information that can be added to pinpoint a specific software transaction or
screen panel, indicate the degree of fit, or discuss key design decisions, for example. You can also
create a hyperlink from a process element directly to a particular transaction in an online system for
demonstration.

Where basic information about the software functionality is structured into a generic hierarchy, this
kind of descriptive information is entered mostly as text and is quite specific to a particular process.
As such, it is entered mostly as free text to allow for maximum flexibility in capturing the most
relevant information for the situation.
Software mapping information can be noted for tasks, subprocesses, and gateways. Now you are
ready to create a software mapping.


Creating Software Mappings
A software mapping defines if and how a process element is supported by specific software packages, such
as SAP, Oracle, and so forth.
1. To access software mappings, right-click the task, subprocess, or gateway and click Properties.
2. Click the Software Mapping tab.

The Package Name list box contains all packages that are mapped to process elements anywhere in
the file. The check box beside the package name indicates whether a particular package is mapped to
the selected process element.

Selecting/ entering the package name:
You can add a new software package by using the Web service (through the world icon) or by
entering a new software package name. If you use the Web service, keep in mind that you also
receive all solutions and applications associated with that package in the entire Deloitte
IndustryPrint Process Repository.
3. To use the Web service to add a new software package to the list box, click the world icon .
If you are connected to the internet, a Web service retrieves the list of all software packages currently
identified in IndustryPrint Process Modeler so that you can select the software package from the list.

4. From the Results list, click the desired software package and click OK.

Note: When you select a package from this list, the Web service imports to your file all the solutions
and applications associated with that package in the Deloitte IndustryPrint Process Repository (across
all IndustryPrints).
5. Validate all the solutions and applications for the selected package and delete any items that are not
appropriate.
This should be completed before you begin your mapping process.
6. To add a new package that does not appear in the Results list from the Web service, click Cancel. Then, in
the Software Mapping tab of the Properties dialog, click New.
The default name New Program appears in the Package Name field.
7. In the Package Name field, type the actual package name over New Program.
The new package name is added to the list.
8. To add an icon image for the new package, click the icon area to the left of the listbox.

9. Navigate to the appropriate image file and click Open.
Note: The image must be no larger than 33 x 33 pixels and a .JPG or .GIF file.
10. To change a mapping status (map or unmap the package to the task), click (mark) the check box.

Selecting solutions and applications:
11. Solutions and applications are groupings of software package functionality. To add a solution for a selected
package, click New in the Solutions section.
12. Type the solution name and click OK.
The selected solution is added to the list and its existing applications are added to the Applications for
Selected Solution list. A solution that is created for one task is visible for all tasks.

13. To show a software mapping between the task and the solution, click (mark) the check box beside the
appropriate solution name.
14. To add an application for a selected solution, select its solution name.

15. In the Applications for Selected Solution section, click New.
16. Type the application name and click OK.
Multiple applications can be added for each solution. You may need to scroll down to see all
applications for a solution. An application that is created for one task is visible for all tasks.
17. To show a software mapping between the task and the application, click (mark) the check box beside the
appropriate application name.

Entering other information about the software package mapping:
18. In addition to the selections for the software package, solution, and applications, you can enter other
information:
A hyperlink that launches a particular transaction or user panel in a demo or sandbox system
The command line of a transaction or user panel (for reference)
Information about the system components
Information about the customization level required for this task
A free-text description

Viewing software package mappings:
20. To display the icons of the mapped software packages in the drawing, select View > Mapping > Software
> All.
A sample model with software icons appears.


21. If a software package transaction has been entered in the Hyperlink field of the Software Mapping tab,
double-click the software package icon to launch the link directly from the drawing.
Note: If the icon image does not appear, refer to the Retrieving Icon Images From the Repository
topic. If the icon image you need still does not appear after performing this update, you must
manually add the icon file (in .JPG or .GIF format) to the IndustryPrint Process Modeler's \Images\
folder. The default location is C:\Program Files\Deloitte\Deloitte IndustryPrint Process Modeler.

Then, indicate that icon for use with your new mapping on the Software Mappings tab. If you share
your mapped IndustryPrint or ClientPrint (.IP file) with other users, you must also provide them with
the icon file and they must manually add it to the \Images\ folder on their PC.


Editing Software Mappings

information, refer to Creating Software Mappings.


Unmapping a Software Package from a Single Process Object
This topic describes how to remove the relationship between a software mapping and a single task,
subprocess, or gateway that is, unmap the software package from one process element.
Note: To delete all mappings to a software package, refer to Deleting Software Mappings.
1. Right-click the task, subprocess, or gateway and click Properties.

3. To remove a software mapping between a package and the task, subprocess, or gateway, highlight the
package's name (do not click the package's check box).
Note: If you unselect a software package for which mapping information exists, a confirmation
prompt reminds you that this action deletes the related mapping information.

4. To delete the hyperlink, command line, system components, customization level, or description information,
highlight the information and press the Delete key.
5. To delete a solution, highlight the desired solution and click Delete.
The solution is removed from the Solutions list. All applications within the solution are automatically
deleted.

All applications appear for the selected solution.
7. Highlight the application that you want to delete.
8. Under the Applications for Selected Solutions list, click Delete.
Note: No confirmation appears.
If you attempt to delete an entry that is used in one or more tasks, subprocesses, or gateways, a
message appears explaining that you first need to remove the relationships to those process
elements.



Deleting Software Mappings
This topic describes how to delete all mappings in a print to a particular software package.
Note: To simply remove the relationship between a software mapping and a single task, subprocess, or
gateway that is, unmap the software package from a process element, refer to Unmapping a Software
Package from a Single Process Object.
If you try to delete a package (for example, Oracle) in the properties of a task, subprocess, or gateway,
and Oracle has been mapped to any process object in the print, a message indicates that it cannot be
deleted. This prevents inadvertent deletion of mapping information by one person in a print that is being
shared across multiple team members.
If you truly want to remove all mappings to a software package, solution, or application in a print,
however, along with all the detail related to it, you can do that with an administrative feature. With the
Administrative Features installed, the Tools > Delete Global List I tems option allows you to bypass the
restriction to delete items that have relationships within the print. If a team is collaborating on your print,
it is best to have this procedure performed by the team member who owns the master file.


1. To delete a software mapping between a package and the task, subprocess, or gateway, click Tools >
Delete Global List I tems > Software Mappings.

The Delete Software Mappings dialog box appears.


2. Click (check) the desired package and click Delete Packages.
warning appears explaining that one of the items has relationships to process objects. Those
relationships will be permanently deleted, and the action cannot be undone.

3. To continue, click Yes.
The package is deleted from the Package Name list. All solutions and applications relevant to the
package are deleted, as well as all detailed information (descriptions, hyperlinks, command lines, and
so on), which is stored in that IP file.
Note: To cancel the Delete function, click No at the warning message.
4. To delete a solution, click (check) the package to which the solution belongs.
All the solutions appear for the selected package.
5. For the solution that you want to delete, click (check) its solution name.
6. Click Delete Solutions.
A confirmation appears.


The solution is deleted from the Solutions list.
8. To delete an application, click the solution to which the application belongs.
All applications display for the selected solution.
9. Click (check) the application that you want to delete.
10. Under the Applications for Selected Solution list, click Delete Applications.

The application is deleted from the Applications list.
Note: To cancel the Delete function, click No at the confirmation.
12. To close the dialog box after all changes are complete, click OK.


Retrieving Icon Images From the Repository
When you install IndustryPrint Process Modeler, icon images used for software mappings to all prints in
the Deloitte IndustryPrint Process Repository are installed as well. If you add a software mapping to an
IndustryPrint or ClientPrint, these icons are available for your use. If you do not find the icon you need,
you can try getting an update from the IndustryPrint Process Repository to see if it has been added since
you last installed IndustryPrint Process Modeler.
1. To update the icon images installed on your PC, open IndustryPrint Process Modeler.
2. Click Tools > Retrieve Images From IP4 Repository.
Any images that have been added to the repository since you installed IndustryPrint Process Modeler
are downloaded to your PC.
Note: If you do not find the icon image you need after performing this update, you must manually

Deleting Groups and Roles
This topic describes how to delete all mappings in a print to a particular functional group or role.
Note: To simply remove the relationship between a functional group or role and a single task,
subprocess, or gateway that is, unmap the group or role from a process element, refer to Unmapping
Groups and Roles from a Single Process Object.
If you try to delete a functional group or role in the properties of a task, subprocess, or gateway, and that
group or role has been mapped to other process objects in the print, a message indicates that it cannot be
deleted. This prevents inadvertent deletion of mapping information by one person in a print that is being
shared across multiple team members.
If you truly want to remove all mappings of a functional group or role in a print, however, you can do that
with an administrative feature. With the Administrative Features installed, the Tools > Delete Global
List I tems option allows you to bypass the restriction to delete items that have relationships within the
print. If a team is collaborating on your print, it is best to have this procedure performed by the team
member who owns the master file.


1. To delete a functional group or role mapping to a task, subprocess, or gateway, click Tools > Delete
Global List I tems > Roles.

The Delete Functional Groups/Roles dialog box appears.


2. Click (check) the desired functional group and click Delete Functional Groups.

cannot be undone.

The user field is deleted for that object type. This action also removes any data in the fields for that
object type and that property name.

Exporting Files
Image Files
You can export any drawing in IndustryPrint Process Modeler as an image. This feature is useful for
transferring process models or decomposition drawings into PowerPoint, for example.
Exporting an image is context-sensitive, which means that the exported file contains the image currently
on the screen. To export more than one flow, you must navigate to each flow and export it individually.
1. To create an image file in JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG, or WMF format, click File > Export as Image.
2. From the File name prompt, enter a file name and select the file type (for example, JPG or GIF).

3. Click Save.
The image you create is identical to the image on the window at the time you activate the menu item.


HTML Files
You can export an IndustryPrint or ClientPrint from Process Modeler as a Web site (a collection of HTML
files). This feature is useful to post a read-only version of a ClientPrint that anyone can view with Internet
Explorer.
Exporting as HTML is context-sensitive. When you export, the resulting HTML files correspond to the
portion of the print displayed when you initiate the command. For example:
To export the entire print to HTML
Navigate to the top level (process groups summary screen with all blue arrows), then perform the
export.
To export only the information related to a single process group
Navigate to the relevant process group screen (blue arrows and yellow rectangles), then perform the
export.
To export only the information for a single process
Navigate to the relevant process flow (tasks, gateways, and so on), then perform the export.
The process scope of the resulting HTML files is the level at which you initiated the command and below.
For example, exporting a process group generates HTML files containing IndustryPrint information about
that process group, all the processes within that group, as well as any subprocesses within those
processes.
1. To create HTML files, click File > Export as HTML.
2. From the Windows popup, select the folder to store the HTML files or create a new folder and click OK.

The folder stores the collection of HTML files, including all process groups, processes, tasks,
gateways, and images.
3. To view the IndustryPrint (or ClientPrint), navigate to the folder and double click the index.html file.


RTF/Word Files
You can export any IndustryPrint in Process Modeler as an RTF file, which you can open and work with in
Microsoft Word. Exporting as RTF/Word is context-sensitive. When you export, the resulting file
corresponds to the portion of the print displayed when you initiate the command. For example:
To export the entire print to RTF/Word
export.
export.
The process scope of the resulting file is the level at which you initiated the command and below. For
example, exporting a process group generates an RTF/Word file containing IndustryPrint information
about that process group, all the processes within that group, as well as any subprocesses within those
processes.
1. To create an RTF file, click File > Export As RTF/Word File.
A dialog box appears with the default options marked to match those options currently in the
application. Fields that have no data anywhere in the print are unavailable (grayed out).
2. From the Save Report Options dialog box, click (mark) the check boxes to select the details to be included in
the report.


Note: To include all fields on the report, click Include All Fields. To return to the original settings,
click Restore Defaults.
3. When complete, click Save RTF.
4. Enter the file name and click Save.
A sample section of a report with user-defined fields appears:



Visio Files
If you have Microsoft Visio installed on your computer, the "Export This Process As Visio file" option is
available. If not installed, the option appears grayed out.
Exporting a Visio file is context-sensitive, which means that the exported file contains the image currently
on the screen. To export more than one flow, you must navigate to each flow and export it individually.
1. To create a Visio (VSD) file from the process groups and processes, click File > Export This Process As
Visio file.

Note: If you select the export while the viewing of scoping statuses is activated, the Visio file
contains the colors corresponding to the scoping status. Otherwise, the Visio file displays process
groups in blue and processes in yellow.
Note: Double quotation marks (") are converted to single quotation marks (') by the export.


Excel Files
If you have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer, the File > Export As Excel file option is available. If
not installed, the option appears grayed out.

Exporting as Excel is context-sensitive. When you export, the resulting file corresponds to the portion of
the print displayed when you initiate the command. For example:
To export the entire print to Excel
export.
export.
The process scope of the resulting file is the level at which you initiated the command and below. For
example, exporting a process group generates an Excel file containing IndustryPrint information about
that process group, all the processes within that group, as well as any subprocesses within those
processes.
You can create nine different types of Excel export files Process Decomposition - Overview, Process
Decomposition - All Levels, Process Links, Software, Collaboration, Roles, Data Elements, User Defined
Fields, and Scoping.
Process Decomposition - Overview
Contains the IP code, name, and description information for process groups and processes.
Process Decomposition - All Levels
Contains the IP code, name, and description information for all process groups, processes, tasks, and
any subprocesses.
Process Links
Contains the input/output, link IP code, link name, and description information.

Software
Shows software mapping information for each task.
Collaboration
Contains the collaboration information, hyperlink, and description for each task.
Roles
Shows role, RACI property, and swimlane information for each task.
Data Elements
Contains the data element and CRUD property information.
User Defined Fields
Contains the custom information added by the user.
Scoping (available at the IndustryPrint level)
Shows the scope status for each process group and process.
Exporting an Excel File
1. To create the Excel file, click File > Export As Excel file (Including Process Decomposition - Overview,
Process Decomposition - All Levels, Process Links, Software, Collaboration, Roles, Data Elements, User
Defined Fields, Scoping).
Note: If a name or description field for any of the objects included in the export (for example, task,
gateway, and subprocess) begins with one of the following symbols: -, =, or @, the export process
adds a space before the symbol. This addition is necessary so that Excel does not interpret the field
as a formula.
A message displays that content will only be exported at the current level and below. If you require
content from a higher level, navigate to that level and run the Export from there.

Process Decomposition - Overview example:

A progress indicator appears during the export process.
Note: To cancel the export, click Cancel.

Merging Processes
Merging Processes from Another File
Frequently, a set of business process models is developed and maintained by a group of people rather
than a single individual. IndustryPrint Process Modeler is not a multiuser environment, but it contains
functionality to facilitate the ability to have different people work on particular processes, and then merge
everyone's changes back into a master file.
This functionality can also be used to add processes from one IndustryPrint to another IndustryPrint. For
example, you may want to use the Operations processes from one IndustryPrint and the Infrastructure
processes from another print as a starter file for a ClientPrint. You can download both IndustryPrints,
delete the processes that you do not want from each, and then merge the resulting files together.
Finally, this functionality can be useful in performing a simple, process-level comparison between two .IP
files. For example, if you want to see any differences between the Human Resources processes in two
IndustryPrints, this feature has that capability.
1. Open the file you consider to be the master file.
Other files will be compared to the master file.
2. To access the Merge Processes feature, click Tools > Merge Processes from Another File.
An information box appears.

Note: Read the information carefully and proceed only after you have resolved all duplications of IP
codes among processes.
3. If there are unsaved changes to the "master" file, a Save Changes message appears.
4. To save your changes, click Yes.
5. To make a backup of your original master file, click Yes at the Create Backup message.

6. Select the IP file containing the other processes (or changed processes) you want to import and click Open.

A progress indicator appears during the Merge comparison. A Process Hierarchy appears noting the
items in IP code/abbreviation order, with a color code, in the selected file that are new, changed, or
removed as compared to the master file.

Note: If the only change in a process is to one or more link events within it, that process is not
considered changed in the Merge comparison. If the only change in a process is to a link event,
make another change somewhere else in the flow (such as slightly moving a task).
7. Click the check boxes beside the items you want to move into the master file and click OK.
The original model is updated with the checked changes from the imported version.
Note: Links to removed processes are also removed with this operation. Links to changed processes
are updated to show any revisions to the IP code and name of the linked process.
8. To save the Merge Report that appears with a summary of changes applied to the master file, click Save.


9. To continue without saving the report, click OK.


Validating Links Between Processes
In the course of developing and updating large models, it is possible for the links between processes to
become "broken. For example, this may happen if:
You delete a process from a model but do not review the related processes to remove links to the
process you deleted.
You create a large model by combining (importing) individual processes or process groups from
different sources.
An intermediate event does not match a process for both the IP code and its name. This condition
causes the intermediate event to be listed on the report.
IndustryPrint Process Modeler contains a feature to help you locate these invalid links so that you can fix
them.
Note: Links without valid IP codes appear with a different color in the process model.
1. To validate the links, click Tools > Validate Links Between Processes.
A list of the invalid links appears.

2. To save the list, click Save.
Note: To close the list without saving, click OK.


Generating a List of Process Links
It is often useful to know about the links between processes. For example, if you delete a process from
your model, you need to know which other processes contain a link to the one you just deleted, so you
can go to those processes and delete the link.
It can also be helpful to see which processes are related when considering updating processes within your
model by importing the new version from another file. For example, if you have the Automotive
IndustryPrint but want to use the IT processes from the CIO Management Framework initiative instead of
the ones shown in the Automotive print, it is helpful to understand where the current IT processes link to
processes in other areas before proceeding with the operation to replace the processes. Thus, you will
have an idea of where the new (imported) IT processes might need to be linked with processes in other
areas of the print.
1. To see the list of links, click Tools > Show Links Between Processes.
A list of the links between processes appears.

2. To save the list, click Save.
Note: To close the list without saving, click OK.
Note: The Excel export for Process Links contains a little more information in a spreadsheet format.
It shows whether the link is an input or output, link IP code, link name, and description.


Deleting Unused Processes
IndustryPrint Process Modeler contains a feature to help you locate unused processes so you can delete
them. This feature is available from the hierarchy views only. The primary use for this feature is to detect
empty processes that are hidden from the normal views. This situation occurs sometimes in prints that
were converted from the old IndustryPrint format for process flows that were spread across more than one
page in an IndustryPrint 3 Visio drawing.
1. To generate a list of unused processes, click Tools > Delete Unused Processes.
A list of all processes appears.

2. To delete the unused processes, which are highlighted in the list, click Delete.
3. To close the list without deleting the unused processes, click Cancel.

Working with Style Properties
