Notes

Introduction to notes

Notes can be used to document the workflow, for example to add explanations about its logic or hints for the process developer. This facilitates knowledge transfer and improves the internal documentation. Notes can have different colors to indicate their purpose.

Using notes

You can drag a note from the palette to any place in the workflow, inside or outside scopes. The note text can be modified in the details panel or by double-clicking the note. You can change the size of a note using the handle in its lower right corner. In the details panel, you can change the colors of the note.

Notes can be connected to other workflow elements, e.g. scopes or activities, by using the arrow button on the right of the note. The connection is purely informative to indicate which element a note refers to. It does not have any impact on the process.

If a note is connected to a scope, it should be placed outside of the scope.
