Signavio Process Editor and Decision Manager: Changes in Version 9.2 (SaaS)

Signavio Process Editor

New / Improved Features

  • There are now two additional layout configurations available that allow alternative views for BPMN diagrams in the new Collaboration Portal: a view in which the diagram image is selected as an initial tab and a view where all content is shown on one page.
  • In the dictionary, there is a new report available, which creates job profiles on the basis of process diagrams.
  • The report "Process Model Metrics" now includes information about uploaded files.

Fixed Bugs

  • When navigating between different processes via process links, the user interface in the new Collaboration Portal reacts very slowly.
  • When setting mandatory attributes for the modeling convention check, it can occur that main and other attributes are not adopted.

Signavio Decision Manager

New / Improved Features

  • Interactive simulation of DMN diagrams, determining the remaining set of possible output values based on the (partial) set of already given input data. The simulation enables you to test and experience decision diagrams.
  • It is now possible to not only set a link on a decision diagram but also on a specific sub-decision.
  • In the Collaboration Portal, it is now possible to switch between the normal and expanded view of the DMN diagram. In the expanded view, all linked sub-decisions are also resolved and shown in a diagram.
  • Decision modeling has now been extended to date values. The user can decide between dates, times and date timepoints.
  • For the number data type, a unit can now also be specified. Units can be, for example, length units, weight specification, currencies or percentages.
  • There are now additional special operators for the data control in DMN decision tables e.g. is invalid or is empty.
  • The user can now specify whether it should be decided for the text data type to be upper or lower case.
  • Within decision logic, operators can now also be used in lists e.g. contains specific values.
  • Lists can now also be structured hierarchically. For this, a new data type has been added.

Fixed Bugs

  • The data type definition of an input parameter of the type number is not correctly displayed in the model comparison.
