For a BPM project containing a large number of processes, navigating all the processes and artifacts in each process can be time-consuming and cumbersome. For easier navigation, you can implement the following methods for all the projects listed in the Project Explorer view.
Filtering: to show (or hide) all the Business Processes and Web applications added to BPM projects in your workspace.
Content filtering: to filter the artifacts in your Project Explorer view on basis of content namely, BPM elements.
Sorting: to sort the multiple processes added to BPM projects on basis of name or process type.
To apply filtering:
1. In the Project Explorer view, click View Menu () > Customize View. The Available Customizations dialog box appears.
2. From the Filters tab, you can implement filtering on basis of project type.
a. To hide all the Business Processes in your Project Explorer view, select the BP Server Processes check box.
b. To hide all the Web applications in your Project Explorer view, select the BPM WebFlow Processes check box.
3. From the Content tab, you can implement filtering on basis of content namely, BPM elements. By default, the Project Explorer view displays Java (and JavaScript) elements and Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge resources. Use the BPM Elements check box (by default, selected) to display each process type in the BPM project with its distinct icon.
Note: You can also clear the other selected checkboxes in the Content tab to display only BPM elements in your Project Explorer view.
All Business Processes in your Project Explorer view are denoted by the
icon and all Web applications are denoted by the
icon. You can identify and open process templates, based on the displayed icon.
4. Click OK to apply the filtering changes.
You can also sort the list of processes in each BPM project on basis of name or process type. By default, all processes in each BPM project are sorted alphabetically by name. To sort by process type:
In the Project Explorer view, click View Menu () > BPM Sort and then select the by type option. Expand any BPM project in the Project Explorer to view all the Business Processes in the project first, followed by all the Web applications in the project.
