Business process hierarchy diagrams
In the business process hierarchy diagram, you can group Process Objects in a hierarchy. You can also show in the hierarchy the derived logical process that the process objects perform.
You model the overall Organizational Entity that the process objects are performed by, and drag and drop the affiliated process objects from the browser onto the diagram. The hierarchical grouping mechanism allows automatic attachment of the process object to the Organizational Entity that you move it under. Derived Logical Processes can be added to the diagram in the same manner.
