Models, items, and values for highlighting

This description is based on the standard configuration. Please note that your system may be configured differently so that different attributes and values are relevant.

Happy path and exception path

You can use the following model types to define and highlight the happy path and the exception path:

  • EPC

  • EPC (column display)

  • EPC (horizontal table display)

  • EPC (instance)

  • EPC (material flow)

  • EPC (row display)

  • EPC (table display)

  • BPMN collaboration diagram (BPMN 2.0)

The value for the happy path is HAPPY_PATH, the values for the exception paths are EXCEPTION_1 to EXCEPTION_4. Values are case-sensitive so that only correctly written values are considered for the highlighting.
