BPMN Basics: Artifacts
The four basic categories of BPMN elements are: Flow Objects, Connecting Objects, Swimlanes, and Artifacts. This page will discuss the BPMN Artifacts.
Data Object |
Data Objects are a mechanism to show how data is required or produced by Activities. They are connected to Activities through Associations. |
|
Group |
A Group (represented by a rounded corner rectangle with a dashed line) can be used for documentation or analysis purposes, but does not affect the Sequence Flow. |
|
Annotation |
Annotations are a mechanism for a modeler to provide additional text information for the reader of a BPD (Business Process Diagram). |
