Process Navigator XML Hierarchy

Process Navigator can export the data captured within process maps for use in any XML-based application. However, please note that normally an XSL Transform will need to be written in order for this transfer to take place. Transforms are text files that convert XML from one structure to another, known as XSL Transforms or XSLT. We use a transform to convert data from process maps into a report format.

Triaster offers this service but also include some XSL transforms with the product. These transforms are located at C:\Program Files\Triaster\Process Navigator\Transforms\Hierarchy Transforms.

Use the Process Navigator XML Hierarchy command to build an XML file listing the map properties of each of the loaded maps in a hierarchical format, including information about the order of the Activities. This can be used as the first step for the Export to Microsoft Office Project option.

To export the XML Hierarchy:

1. Load the maps that you require in Process Navigator.
2. Select Multi-Map > Export > Process Navigator XML Hierarchy.
3. Specify a location to save the file and give the file a name. Click Save.

Process Navigator loads the selected maps and creates the XML hierarchy file.
