ArchiMate diagrams

Create ArchiMate diagrams in iGrafx: start from the ArchiMate template, or add the ArchiMate shape libraries to an existing diagram and switch its type to ArchiMate.

Assign a process owner

Name the person who owns a diagrammed process — shown on the Details tab, in the diagram info popup, in headers and footers, and available to reports.

BPMN diagrams

What a BPMN diagram is in iGrafx, the object categories it uses (pools and lanes, flow objects, connections, artifacts), and the BPMN shape library sets the editor offers.

Comment on a diagram

Add comments to diagram shapes, reply, resolve and reopen them, and review everything in the Comments panel — no check-out needed.

Compare diagram versions

See what changed between two versions of a diagram: overlay or side-by-side views, a filterable change table, and blending between old and new.

Create and edit a diagram

The web diagram editor: create a diagram, draw shapes and flows with the Quick Shape Menu, work with pools, lanes, and phases, link shapes, and set up pages, headers, and printing.

Describes relationships

How diagram shapes describe enterprise objects: label suggestions, the Describes panel, proposed objects, acceptance, and when relationships reach the model.

Diagram templates

Offer your own diagrams as templates in the Add Object dialog: set up the template folder, get templates approved, and control the built-in iGrafx templates.

Diagram-defined custom properties

Create, edit, and remove custom properties that live on a single diagram (DDCP): the property types and settings, where the properties appear, and what they don't yet support.

Display fields

Show extra data — RACI, risks, performance indicators, controls, custom properties, and shape numbers — directly on diagram shapes, and configure how each field looks and where it sits.

Import diagrams

Bring diagrams into the repository: Visio files (single or in bulk), BPMN XML, the native IGXW format, and desktop-client IGX documents — as new diagrams or into an existing one.

Journey Map diagrams

Create Journey Map diagrams in iGrafx: start from the Journey Map template, or add the Journey Map shape libraries to an existing diagram.

Process metrics

Attach custom-property metric data to diagram shapes, then analyze it with the Metrics panel, heatmaps, the Path Explorer, and the Metrics Explorer.

RACI from diagram lanes

Let lanes assign RACI automatically: when a shape proposes a new object, the lane's described resource becomes its Responsible — and follows the shape between lanes.

Set up pages and print to PDF

Set the page size, orientation, pagination, and print extras a diagram saves, print it to PDF, and — with the Early Access print options — choose different settings for a single print.

Shape libraries

Create custom shape libraries, build items from built-in shapes, images, or the Graphic Editor, import and export libraries, and choose which libraries a diagram uses.

Shape numbering and style

Number the shapes of a diagram manually or automatically, and style shapes, lines, and text with the Styles panel and Format Painter.

Translate diagram content

Translate a web diagram's text directly in the Languages grid, fill the gaps with Pia, or round-trip through Excel for an external translator.

Use paths

Highlight named routes through a process, step through them, share a link to a path, and export or narrate only the highlighted route.

Value stream mapping

Create a Value Stream Map diagram to map every step from order to delivery with material and information flows, add lean data, and read the automatic timeline and summary box.

View a diagram

Read a diagram without editing it: zoom and full screen, the navigator, grid and page options, the changes toggle between live and as-approved data, and Approved Only mode.
