Creating and using stereotypes

You can use stereotypes to extend BPMN notation for your specific use cases, such as adding custom icons or domain-specific terminology.

The following sections explain how to work with stereotypes in Celonis Process Management.

Before you begin, ensure you have completed the following steps or meet the requirements listed below:

  • You must have the Administrator role to create and edit stereotypes

  1. In the Admin area, go to the Stereotype tile in the section Configure.

  2. Go to the dropdown to select the process or object to which a stereotype should be added.

  3. From the drop-down list, select the desired Type for which the stereotype should be applicable. Assign a name and click the New button or confirm with the Enter key. Click Apply Changes to save.

    Now you can enter a description on the right side. Also you can add an image like a symbol for the stereotype.

    Note

    Images must be transparent and no larger than 100 x 250 pixels.
