Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a standard notation system used to represent business processes graphically. Users can create Flows using BPMN steps or upload preexisting BPMN XML files into Decisions for conversion into a Flow. This allows users to use BPMN as a base for laying out projects. Various steps are available to use to visualize business processes. Below are the sub-categories available in the BPMN category.


CategoryDescription
ACTIVITY Provides a step to Call Activity, which is a method for acting. 
DATAOffers steps related to data handling. This includes Input, Output, creating a Data Object, and storing Data. 
EVENTSProvides start, intermediate, and end steps for events in a process. 
GATEWAYS Steps that allow the user to split the Path of the Flow/BPMN Diagram. 
PROCESSProvides a step for running Sub-Processes (similar to Decisions Sub Flow functionality). 
TASKSProvides steps relating to specific tasks.
