Define working procedures for business tasks in a business process diagram

In this tutorial, we will see how to define step-by-step procedure when performing tasks. The same technique can be applied on sub-process, choreography task and choreography sub-process.

This is really a great new feature, but how can I make the added procedure text visible in a PDF-report or a HTML-report (using the Project Publisher) ??

When you generate a report (HTML/PDF/Word), or run publisher, the procedure text will be shown in report automatically. You don't need to do any steps extra.
Make sure you are running the latest version (VP-UML 7.2, AG 2.2, SDE 5.2, BP-VA 3.2) in order to use this feature. :-)
