[Sub-process] element

A sub-process is a process that is included within another process. As a rule, sub-processes are used when an existing process must be executed within another process.

For example, the “Signing contract” process includes the “Agreeing on a contract” sub-process (Fig. 69).

A sub-process must have an incoming flow, otherwise it will not be activated.

When the incoming sequence flow is activated, the start event of the sub-process is triggered. When the sub-process is completed, the outgoing sequence flow activates the next element in the parent process.

In the [Process] field of the element setup page, select an earlier created process that  must be run as a sub-process (Fig. 70).
