Hello,

how can I define an image as attribute of a BPMN object (e.g. task or data object) and place it as image (not as link) in the diagram of the model. A data type BLOB is not avaible for attribute types.

Using the graphics import of the diagram only places the image visually in the diagram and is not part of the model. A work around is using the attribute type "documentation", placing the image in a WORD document. Then the image is shown in the details window but a function to visualize it as part of the diagram is not available.

Any ideas?

Regards

Klemens

You can assign an image to an attribute and then show it on the model:

If you need something else, please give a case

Thank you for the feedback. I hope I understand your proposal correctly.

In your case the symbol is firmly assigned to the attribute type and you only have two symbols to assign "value specified" or not.

When I say image I mean pictures. The picture itself is the attribute.

Example: In BPMN I am using the object "data store" to model different equipments. The actual used equipment should be visualized as a picture in the diagram.

Klemens

The option I suggested initially is not your way (it would be yours if you had, for example, 10 equipment types), but I believe there are too many of equipment types. I remember SAG promised to add this feature for the Description/definition attribute, but for now, it only allows formatted text without graphics. Fragments also not your option by the same reason.

Maximum what I'd do is to create a separate model (library) with that equipment just placing the photo as you did through the import. I'd place these pictures next to the object, so that I could extract them by script into SOP. So, on the library model I'd have data object + picture, and on the BPMN - only data object. Maybe there are other ideas, it would be interesting to see.

Regards,

Alexander

Hello Klemens,

maybe this is for you:

Method help: Attribute type group Multi-media attributes

This group contains multiple attributes used for linked documents, images, videos, and external pages.
A title and description can be specifed for each link attribute. Document and image links refer to ARIS document storage.

I have not used it yet but AFAIK you Connect Configuration has a corresponding property type which renders the linked image as a thumbnail preview in portal view like overview/factsheet or steps.

Regards, Martin

Hi,

You are right, it is possible to configure mini factsheets for objects and display them as a graphics:

It works only if you point to the object on the diagram.
