Using real M-Files objects in process maps is an outstanding feature of M-Files Process Maps. It allows you to generate dynamic maps that react to object changes in your vault structure. Think about the metadata you use in your objects and consider which of them can be visualized in a meaningful way.
Here are some ideas:
The menu for adding M-Files views or objects is located on the left-hand side of the M-Files Process Maps Designer. This consists of:
There are four buttons for M-Files objects including drop-down menus as arrow symbol next to the buttons:
Process Map Objects
. Here you can filter which M-Files objects are displayed in the lower list. The object menu can be enlarged or reduced by moving the mouse over the right-hand bar, click-dragging the double arrow.
Delete Link
button on the right-hand side menu.
If you drag the object from the object menu while holding down the CTRL
key, a Quick Choice menu appears as soon as you release the left mouse button. Now you can choose which mapped symbol or if the default text field should be displayed.
Note: What is shown as a Quick Choice is determined by the symbol mapping.
See Symbol Mappings for further information.
In addition to M-Files objects, you can also use the views of your vault within M-Files Process Maps.
