Diagramming Software for Design Business Process Diagrams

The vector stencils library "Gateways" contains 8 symbols of exclusive, event-based, parallel, inclusive and complex gateways.
Use these shapes for creating the business process diagrams using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"Gateway.
A gateway is represented with a diamond shape and determines forking and merging of paths, depending on the conditions expressed.
Exclusive.
Used to create alternative flows in a process because only one of the paths can be taken, it is called exclusive.
Event Based.
The condition determining the path of a process is based on an evaluated event.
Parallel.
Used to create parallel paths without evaluating any conditions.
Inclusive.
Used to create alternative flows where all paths are evaluated.
Exclusive Event Based.
An event is being evaluated to determine which of mutually exclusive paths will be taken.
Complex.
Used to model complex synchronization behavior.
Parallel Event Based.
Two parallel process are started based on an event but there is no evaluation of the event." [Business Process Model and Notation. Wikipedia]
The example "Design elements - Gateways BPMN 2.0" is included in the Business Process Diagram solution from the Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Gateways BPMN 1.2" contains symbols: data-based and event-based exclusive (XOR), inclusive (OR), parallel (AND), complex.
The vector stencils library "Artifacts BPMN 1.2" contains symbols: data object, text annotation, and group.

Artifacts allow developers to bring some more information into the model/ diagram. In this way the model/ diagram becomes more readable. There are three pre-defined Artifacts and they are:
(1) Data objects: Data objects show the reader which data is required or produced in an activity.
(2) Group: A Group is represented with a rounded-corner rectangle and dashed lines. The group is used to group different activities but does not affect the flow in the diagram.
(3) Annotation: An annotation is used to give the reader of the model/ diagram an understandable impression." [Business Process Model and Notation. Wikipedia]

The vector stencils library "Gateways" contains 8 gateway symbols.
A Gateway is used to control the devergence and convergence of multiply Sequence Flow. In BPMN 2.0 diagrams the gateway shapes depict branching, forking, merging and joining of paths.
Use this library to draw BPMN 2.0 diagrams in the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Business Process Diagram solution from the Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Gateways BPMN 1.2" contains 5 gateway symbols.
A Gateway is used to control the devergence and convergence of multiply Sequence Flow. Thus, it will determine branching, forking, merging and joining of paths.
Use this library for drawing the business process diagrams (BPMN 1.2) in the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Business Process Diagram solution from the Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Expanded objects" contains 14 symbols: exception flow, compensation association, multiple outgoing sequence flow, parallel gateway, join, exclusive, event-based, inclusive, merging, sequence flow looping, process break.
Use these shapes for drawing business process diagrams (BPMN 2.0) using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
The example "Design elements - Expanded objects BPMN 2.0" is included in the Business Process Model and Notation solution from the Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Expanded objects BPMN 1.2" contains 15 symbols: exception flow, compensation association, forks (AND-split) - multiple outgoing sequence flow and parallel gateway, AND-join, data based, event-based - task of type receive, event-based - intermediate events of type message, inclusive, merging, sequence flow looping, process break, complex decision, complex merge.

"In business or commerce, an order is a stated intention, either spoken or written, to engage in a commercial transaction for specific products or services. From a buyer's point of view it expresses the intention to buy and is called a purchase order. From a seller's point of view it expresses the intention to sell and is referred to as a sales order. When the purchase order of the buyer and the sales order of the seller agree, the orders become a contract between the buyer and seller.
Within an organization, the term order may be used to refer to a work order for manufacturing, a preventive maintenance order, or an order to make repairs to a facility.
In many businesses, orders are used to collect and report costs and revenues according to well-defined purposes. Then it is possible to show for what purposes costs have been incurred." [Order (business). Wikipedia]
The BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) diagram example "Order process" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Business Process Diagram solution from the Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
