Question

Adding existing subprocesses to a new subprocess

I'm looking to condense an existing process model which has multiple branching paths each containing a sequence of subprocesses and script tasks. For the purpose of readability, the branched paths need to be represented by a single subprocess which passes in all the needed inputs. What's a good way to go about doing this?

I am not sure what you are trying to do exactly or why.... and you should evaluate the life and footprint of each subprocess you create to determine if it should be a subprocess or not.

But if I understand, you can create a new PM that can be called as a sub and copy the nodes you are trying to organize into the model. Make sure you are setting up the parameters and setting up the security.

Hi Mike,
If I understand it right, you are facing the task to enhance the readability. In my opinion the best way to do that is 'Dynamic Process Execution' as

juergeng0002,

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm working with an older version of Appian in this instance, but DPE is absolutely something I'll consider for similar situations in the future.
