Step 2: A Process Map

When a map is opened in the Process Library, it appears with the same header as the Homepage and Menu pages.

On the page you can see the Process Map, a Zoom Tool for zooming in and out of the map, the Process Library Menu (see Tutorial Step 6: Using the Menus) and the Quick Search (see Tutorial Step 5: Quick Search).

Click on the + button to zoom in on the central area of the map.If you want to view another area, use the arrow keys or scroll bars on your keyboard to pan across the map.

Click on the - button to zoom out.

Click on the = button to return to the default zoom and orientation.

The Process Map

Process Maps are drawn in a Node, which provides a designated area and information about the map.

• Title bar - at the top of the map and contains the name of the map and optionally the company logo and a Level Indicator.
• Version bar - at the bottom of the map and contains an up-arrow on the left (see Tutorial Step 4: Navigating the Maps), data about the map (e.g. Process Owner, Author, Approval Date, Version) and a Feedback button.
• Level Indicator - indicates the depth of the map in the map hierarchy (see Tutorial Step 4: Navigating the Maps).
• Feedback Button - allows you to send an email to the Process Owner for improvement suggestions and defects.
• Map Area - The central area between the Title bar and the Version is used for the Process.

Properties

There is supporting information about the map stored as Properties.

This can be accessed by clicking in either the Title bar or the Version bar.
