Importing Designs

The Import Designs command allows you to import Processes, Screenflows and Procedures from other common Business Process Modeling formats.

To import designs:

In the Project Navigator, right-click on the process to which you want to add the imported process, or on the Processes node of that project.
From the context menu, select Import Designs. The Import Designs dialog box appears.

Specify the type of file you want to import in the Files of type drop-down list.

Option	Description
*Oracle BPM Process File (.xpdl)**	Process definition file used for Oracle BPM processes. This is an XPDL 2.0 file with extensions.
*XPDL 1.0 Workflow Management Coalition Model (.xpdl)**	Process Definition Language compliant with the 1.0 spec by the WfMC. Standard file type used to exchange process designs between process authoring tools. Because the standard allows for proprietary extensions to be included in an XPDL 1.0 file, the imported process can differ from the original version.
Visio XML Drawings	Process designs created with Microsoft Visio.
*Procedure Files (.xadl)**	Oracle BPM procedure files.
Screenflow Files	Oracle BPM screenflow files.

Select the file you want to import.
Click Open . Each file you selected is imported to the project and opened in a new design editor window.
