This documentation is valid for Creatio version user.guide.0. We recommend using the newest version of Creatio documentation.

Import / Export

You can create a new business process diagram by importing a *.bpmn file. You can also export any business process in Studio Creatio, free edition as a *.bpmn file, or an *.svg or *.png image.

Note

A *.bpmn file is an XML document, describing a BPMN diagram. The XML structure corresponds to the one documented in BPMN 2.0.2 specification. This universal format is supported by most business process editors and is perfect for migrating BPMN processes between different systems.

Importing *.bpmn files

There are several ways you can import a business process from a *.bpmn file.

  • Drag&drop a *.bpmn file on the Process Designer working area.

Exporting business processes

To export a business process, select it in the process library, click process_library_folder_menu00001.png and select Export to *.bpmn, Export to *.svg or Export to *.png. This action will download the corresponding file via your browser download UI.

Business process diagrams that you export from Studio Creatio, free edition to a *.bpmn file can be imported to Studio Creatio, enterprise edition, and other Creatio apps. The imported diagram will become an “executable” business process, which will execute automatic activities and interact with users. Read more in the “Importing *.BPMN files” article.
