Do you mean to automatically append a number to the element name? Actually the naming of elements is already applying this approach. When you create a new Task, for example, you got 'Task'. When you create another Task, you got 'Task2', and so and so forth.

I think about labels with unique number attached to the each element. You can see example on this page http://www.itp-commerce.com/index.php?pageid=B_001_08_2. This feature is necessary when you want to connect documentation with process map.

this numberation would be very useful. What about the realisation?

Sorry but I do not quite understand your need. Were you suggesting another feature called 'realisation'? Could you provide me with more information on it? Thank you in advance!

I need often to translate in Russian BPMN projects. If I use Name field as identifier so it sounds quite different in different languages. Besides that different char tables are used for different languages. In large projects I can predict chaos and disappointed documentation because no more objects could be identified.

If we are going to support element numbering, do you have any suggestion how the number can be applied in the tool such as the diagram and documentation? What I concern is that, if numbering is just a textfield inside the model specification, why not use the documentation to record this information? I think there must have something special with the numbering...

We will upgrade BP-VA to support the latest spececification. The upgrade will be available not more then 2 months from now.

It can be more or less long number or mix of digests and characters. May be there are same common standards for this purposes …]]> http://forums.visual-paradigm.com/posts/1352#5628.html http://forums.visual-paradigm.com/posts/1352#5628.html

I have the same problem of ID number.
Example: I have 3 activities, I called the activities 1. Planning, 2. Executing, and 3.Control.

When I generate a report I can not understand how it is sorted, I am sure it is not by ID because the events are displayed before than the activities despite the ID number. Other problem of the Id Number is that I only need identifiers in the activities not in the rest of symbols as start, end events, gateways,etc.
Please Helpppp ..
I was working for three months in the AS IS and To BE model and know I dont have time to redefine all the Id numbers. There is a way to sort by activity name? and also, There is a way to delete the events, pools and lanes in the html report and wiord report? :?:
Thanks.

By default, the report sort content base on the most reasonable and logical way. For BPD, the sorting follows the flow from start event to end event. If you want to change to sort by ID, please set it in the generate dialog box. Attached is a screenshot showing you how to do this.

I regret that we do not support report customization at the moment. Once we'll support, I will let you know.

Sorry for my late reply. Actually we already support automatic numbering in BP-VA (ID is generated once you created a business process diagram/model). You can check or modify the ID in their specification (right-click on the diagram/model and select Open Specification), but not allowed to have duplicated IDs.

If there is any further inquiry, please feel free to contact me again.
