Learn how to use AI-enabled semantic search to find business process models that best suit your
organization's needs, instead of modeling your processes from scratch.
Prerequisites
• have an SAP Signavio Process Manager (SPM) license and SAP AI Units. For more information, reach out to
your workspace administrator.
Context
With the help of generative AI and natural language processing techniques, the system conducts a semantic
search. This means it determines the meaning and intent of your query and uses this information to identify the
most suitable process model for your requirements. You can then save the most relevant results to your local
workspace to use as they are or further customize them in the SAP Signavio Process Manager editor.
Note
The AI-assisted search works best when you use English as an input language. It always returns results in
English, regardless of the user language.
Procedure
1. Select the Process AI recommendation service on the right-hand side of the header.
Note
The system then suggests the most relevant process models for you to review. Under each recommended
process model, you will see a short summary, containing key information for quick assessment and a
medium-sized summary that provides a more detailed overview.
4. If a suggested process model meets your requirements:
a. Select View template, to preview the process model.
b. Select Save and edit to save the process model to your local workspace and either open it in the SAP
Signavio Process Manager editor to tailor the process model according to your organization's needs, or
save it to work on it later.
Tip
To export metadata information about recommendations in .csv format, including attributes, such as
the name and description of the process model, the query that led to this recommendation, and the
rank assigned to it, mark the process model, and select (Download). This action is possible for
multiple models at the same time.

When modeling, users create a high-level overview of the main process, they model subprocesses in separate
diagrams and link these subprocesses to the main process. The subprocesses can also contain links to
processes.
The high-level overview is usually the top-level diagram of your diagram hierarchy, on diagram level 1. The
diagrams directly linked from this overview are on level 2. Any subprocesses of the processes on level 2 are on
diagram level 3. The maximum level is 7.
Note
The diagram level count can start at process level 0 or 1. This is set by your workspace administrator.
The diagram level indicator shows the level of the current diagram.
When you click the diagram level indicator, the current diagram and all diagrams on higher levels in the same
hierarchy are listed. For top-level diagrams, no other diagrams are listed.
Diagrams that reference the current diagram but aren't part of the hierarchy are listed below the hierarchy. You
can open all diagrams by clicking them.
The displayed diagram level can be different than the expected level.
• The shortest path for a diagram to a top-level diagram is considered. Diagrams linked from more than one
diagram can be on different diagram levels across the process landscape, shown is always their minimum
diagram level.
Example
Process B is on level 3.
Example
Value Chain No. 2 is a top-level diagram and links to Process B. Process B is also linked from Process A as
described in the first example.
The diagram level always uses the shortest path to a top-level diagram. This means the diagram level
displayed for Process B has changed to level 2.
When you open Process B from Process A of the first example, Process B is one level below Process A.
Since only the shortest path to any top-level diagram is shown, the diagram level for Process B is still 2.
Example
Process B is a diagram on level 3 for 2 different paths. There is no shorter path available. Which path is
shown is automatically calculated based on internal IDs.
When modeling, users create a high-level overview of the main process, they model subprocesses in separate
diagrams and link these subprocesses to the main process.
The subprocesses can also contain links to processes. You can view linked processes in SAP Signavio Process
Collaboration Hub.
View Subprocesses
You can view the element details for the linking element or open the linked diagram.
Example
View the details of a subprocess within a value chain diagram by selecting the subprocess element.

Hub.
Attribute overlays are attribute visualizations that are added by modelers when they create a diagram in SAP
Signavio Process Manager. Which overlays are visible for a user group is also set in SAP Signavio Process
Manager.
If a diagram contains attribute overlays, the number of available overlays and the number of visible overlay
categories are displayed. You can show or hide attribute overlays and select which overlays you want to view.

value is displayed.
The overlays for risks and for controls provide additional information.
When you hover over a risk overlay, the number of risks without controls for that element is shown. You see
the risk overlay when there is a risk without controls. When you only see the control overlay, all risks for that
element have controls. In the attribute details, controls are shown directly under a risk.
Prerequisites
Attributes are populated from the linked subprocess if the following conditions are met:
• The same attribute, with the same ID, is available for both the subprocess element and the linked process.
• The attribute value is only set on the linked process and not on the subprocess element.
• The attribute is visible for the user.
Context
When working with processes and subprocesses, you can view the subprocesses' attributes directly in the main
process. Which attributes you can see depends on your role.
Note
Attribute settings and attribute visibility settings are managed by your workspace administrator.
Procedure
1. Select the element of the main process that contains a plus sign, meaning that element contains a
subprocess.
2. In the side panel that opens, view the attributes of the linked subprocess.
Example
In this example, the main process contains one subprocess element, which links to a subprocess.
Main process:
The attributes Process Maturity, Process Owner and ISO9000ff relevant are available for both the
subprocess element of the main process and the linked subprocess.
In SAP Signavio Process Manager, only the current attributes are shown.
On the subprocess element, Process Maturity and ISO9000ff relevant have a value.
For the subprocess, Process Maturity and Process Owner have a value. The value for Process Maturity differs
from the one set for the subprocess element.
In SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub, the details panel for the linked subprocess element shows values
for three attributes.
It shows the values for Process Maturity and ISO9000ff relevant which are set on the subprocess element. In
addition, the value for Process Owner is populated from the linked subprocess.
For the attribute Process Maturity, different values are set for the subprocess element of the main process
and the linked subprocess. The value set for the subprocess element is not overwritten with the value from the
linked process.
With read confirmations, you can make sure that others are made aware of diagrams and changes in diagrams.
Prerequisites
In SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub, you can request read confirmations for all diagram types. By
default, requests apply to the last published version. If your diagram has undergone a number of revisions, you
can trigger a separate read confirmation request for each published version.
You can open your read confirmation window and check the list under Users to confirm to see if your recipients
have confirmed they read and understood the diagram.
• For individual users, the date of confirmation appears beside the name. If a user has not yet sent a
confirmation, this space remains blank.
• For user groups, you see a figure to show confirmations sent by group members versus the total number of
members.
You can view the current status of read confirmations for a diagram. Depending on your access rights, you can
view the following details when you select the read state indicator:
• If you can request read confirmations and confirm read confirmation requests, you see the status of all
read confirmations for a diagram.
• If you can confirm read confirmation requests, you see the status of your own read confirmation.
In this example, John Miller has requested a read confirmation for a diagram from Donna Armstrong. When
she displays the diagram, Donna can see the status of her read confirmations by selecting the read state
indicator Read 0/1:

diagram overview from Classic SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub.
Attribute Groups
In this section, you define how attributes are grouped and displayed across the workspace.
• Before you create any groups, all attributes are listed in Ungrouped attributes. This means that by default
there are no attribute groups in SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub. You can manage attribute
visibility in the Attribute visibility section of the settings without creating groups.
• When you create attribute groups, only the attributes added to a group are shown, depending on visibility
settings. This means that attributes listed in Ungrouped attributes are no longer shown.
• Each attribute can only belong to one group. After you move an attribute to a group, the attribute is no
longer listed in Ungrouped attributes.
5. To reorder an attribute, select and drag the attribute to its new position.
6. Apply your changes with Save.
Note
You can move attributes from Ungrouped attributes to your groups this way.
