Merge models

Apromore allows us to merge models and animate a log on top of the merged models.

Note

The two BPMN models to be merged should contain only the following elements:

  • Start events

  • End events

  • Activities (tasks or subprocess activities)

  • Parallel gateways and exclusive and inclusive decision gateways

  • Sequence flows

A model that contains other elements cannot be merged, such as:

  • Pools, lanes, or message flows

  • Data objects, data stores, or annotations

  • Intermediate events (including boundary events)

  • Event-based or complex gateways

To merge two models, select the models, right-click, and click Merge models. Alternatively, we can choose the merge models icon on the menu bar.

A window will pop up, allowing us to name the merged model. Enter the name and click OK.

The merged model will now appear in the same folder.

We can view the merged model in the BPMN editor.
