Logizian (formerly BP-VA) 2.2 Release Notes

Release Date: January 29, 2008

Nicknamer for assigning different names and documentation to specific model elements

Nowadays, information flows throughout the world. When working with Logizian (formerly BP-VA), we may have many modelers and clients from different countries, one language can never cater to all people. It is impossible to create many projects with different languages for all models and clients. However, this problem can be easily solved by assigning Nickname to a model.

Traceability support using Model Transitor

Model Transitor is designed to create and manage transitions among model elements. One may add transitions between model elements, and trace the origin and end. This gives a rapid way of navigating between model elements.

Freehand shapes

When modeling projects, we sometimes use Callout Shape to perform Annotation for reminding our team members. Besides usage of words, Freehand Shape can help annotating models. We can draw shapes and paths to visually divide the diagrams into different sectors, or to organize the shapes in the diagrams, etc.

Callout shapes

Annotation is an extra information, such as comments, notes, explanation, or other type of external mark that describes a model. Sometimes, annotation is an effective way to edit and review work in a work group environment. For instance, you may annotate a model for asking your group mate to confirm your changes.

Team collaboration with Perforce

Perforce is a Software Configuration Management system which lets developers manage the changes they made when developing software. All Visual Paradigm client products are integrated with Perforce to facilitate collaborative modeling. Your team can use Perforce repository to store project files, keep track of changes and perform modeling concurrently.

Open view from model elements

In order to avoid complex design, you may want to break down a model and present it in different diagrams base on different contexts. Model sharing is designed to serve this purpose. You may create multiple views in different diagrams from a model. The properties of the views will clearly preserved as they belong to the same model.

Enhanced Business Process Modeling

In this release, many major and minor enhancements are made to the business process modeling related features. The most remarkable ones are automatic Pool stretching and smart connector routing. Automatic Pool stretching reduces time and effort in resizing Pools and Lanes, while smart connector routing reduces time and effort for re-routing connectors. With those enhancements, time spend on modeling can be reduced drastically.
