Bonita Process Designer 1.0
The first release of Bonita Process Designer, a web-based BPMN 2.0 diagram editor for designing business processes and exporting them to Bonita Studio.
Highlights
-
Visual BPMN editor — create and edit BPMN 2.0 diagrams on a drag-and-drop canvas, with a palette of supported elements, connections (sequence flows, including conditional and default flows), pools and lanes, an inspector panel for element properties, undo/redo, and zoom, pan and fit controls. See Edit a diagram.
-
AI diagram generation — generate a diagram from a natural-language description, then modify or analyze it. Generation runs as a background job with a phased progress indicator and is subject to a per-group quota. See AI diagram generation.
-
Real-time collaboration — several people can edit the same diagram at once, with live presence and an authoritative server-side store that keeps everyone in sync. See Collaborate in real time.
-
Roles, groups and data isolation — three roles (Admin, Creator, Reader) scoped to groups, so users only see the diagrams in the groups they belong to. See Roles and permissions.
-
Comments and labels — discuss a diagram in a per-diagram comment thread, and organize and filter diagrams with labels. See Comment on diagrams and Organize diagrams with labels.
-
Marketplace connectors — browse a connector marketplace and attach connectors and actor filters to elements. The bindings are written into the exported BPMN file (Bonita Studio currently ignores them on import, so you reconfigure them there). See Use marketplace connectors.
-
Diagram versioning — edit a private draft and publish immutable snapshots that your group can view and restore. See Version your diagrams.
-
Process simulation — run a token through a diagram to visualise the flow and check gateway paths. See Simulate a process.
-
Export and import — export diagrams to BPMN 2.0 XML (compatible with Bonita Studio), PNG, and JSON, and import BPMN XML or JSON, with automatic migration of unsupported elements. See Export and import diagrams.
-
Flexible deployment — install with Docker Compose, as a standalone bundle, or in Bonita Runtime mode. See Installation.
