Artefactos

Start

BPMN provides modelers with the capability of showing additional information about a Process that is not directly related to the Sequence Flows or Message Flows of the Process.

At this point, BPMN provides three standard Artifacts: Associations, Groups, and Text Annotations.

Additional Artifacts MAY be added to the BPMN International Standard in later versions. A modeler or modeling tool MAY extend a BPMN diagram and add new types of Artifacts to a Diagram. Any new Artifact MUST follow the Sequence Flow and Message Flow connection rules (listed below). Associations can be used to link Artifacts to Flow Objects (see page 67).

Tipo	Notación	Descripción
Group	Icons	(a box around a group of objects within the same category) A Group is a grouping of graphical elements that are within the same Category (see page 68). This type of grouping does not affect the Sequence Flows within the Group. The Category name appears on the diagram as the group label. Categories can be used for documentation or analysis purposes. Groups are one way in which Categories of objects can be visually displayed on the diagram.
Text Annotation	Icons	(attached with an Association) Text Annotations are a mechanism for a modeler to provide additional text information for the reader of a BPMN Diagram (see page 69).Text Annotation objects can be used by the modeler to display additional information about a Process or attributes of the objects within a BPMN Diagram.
