Enter a name for the operation and click Save. Restrictions on Element Names A BPMN model name must be unique within one service. In addition, the following name restrictions apply to all service panel elements: Element names... | |
Alternatively, you can open the context menu of the class and select the option Add Operation. | |
The dialog Add Operation opens. Select Activity Diagram from the drop-down list, enter a name for the operation and click Save. | |
The new operation has been added to the class. It opens automatically in a new Designer tab, and you can directly start modeling your activity. Go to Working with the Activity Editor for detailed information. | |
Once the operation has been created, you can use the quick actions and the context menu to manage it.
Refer to Implementation and Modeling Data Structures for more information on your options here. |
