Subprocesses
The main characteristics of subprocesses
are as follows:
- They are diagrams encapsulated in a subprocess element.
- They can be inserted into subprocesses.
- Diagram elements can be added into a subprocess by simply dropping them inside the subprocess.
- The extent (the size) of a subprocess is determined by the position of its elements.
- They can be expanded or collapsed by clicking on the
button.
