A computer network. It can be either logical or physical. To illustrate the structure of a network use a InfraStructureDiagram object.
To create a hierachy of networks combine Networks and InfraStructureDiagrams.

Network connection refers to the physical or logical connections between different components or devices within a larger infrastructure. An infrastructure can include various systems such as network devices, servers, databases, storage systems, and other components that work together to provide a particular service or functionality.
For example, in an infrastructure diagram that depicts a data center, a line might connect a server to a storage device to represent the connection between the two components. Similarly, a line might connect a switch to a router to represent the connection between the network devices.
A physical element that exists at run time and represents some computational resource.

The ExternalDocument template is used to manage links to documents and web-sites stored “external” to the QualiWare repository, or to upload documents to QualiWare.
You can link to a Word-document, Excel spreadsheet, pdf-file, URL etc.
The type of link is selected in the “Storage system”-dropdown:
Is used to link to local files on a shared drive
Is uded to link to URLs
When QIS based QDM is selected, you can upload a document to the QualiWare repository and it will be managed by the QualiWare Document Management.
External documents can be associated to all types of content in the repository, and links can be shown on Diagrams, and/or in the associated info boxes on the web:
An Event is something that happens during the course of a business process. These Events affect the flow of the Process and usually have a cause or an impact. The term event is general enough to cover many things in a business process. The start of an activity, the end of an activity, the change of state of a document, a message that arrives, etc., all could be considered events. However, BPMN has restricted the use of events to include only those types of events that will affect the sequence or timing of activities of a process. BPMN further categorizes Events into three main types: Start, Intermediate, and End. Start and most Intermediate Events have Triggers that define the cause for the event. There are multiple ways that these events can be triggered (Start Event Triggers and Intermediate Event Triggers). End Events may define a Result that is a consequence of a Sequence Flow ending.
On the Event tab of the Event object, choose the appropriate Event Type of Start, End, or Intermediate.
If Start for Event Type is selected, then Start Trigger in the Common Event Details can be used to specify the type of Starting event (i.e., applicable values are None, Message, Timer, Conditional, Signal, Multiple).
If End for Event Type is selected, then the Result field in the Common Event Details can be used to specify the type of Ending Event (i.e., applicable values are None, Message, Error, Cancel, Compensation, Signal, Terminate, and Multiple).
As the name implies, the Intermediate Event indicates where something happens (an Event) somewhere between the Start and End of a Process. It will affect the flow of the Process, but will not start or (directly) terminate the Process. Intermediate Events can be used to:
Show where messages are expected or sent within the Process,
Show where delays are expected within the Process,
Disrupt the Normal Flow through exception handling, or
Show the extra work required for compensation.
If Intermediate for Event Type is selected, then the Intermediate Trigger field in the Common Event Details can be used to specify the type of Intermediate Event (i.e., applicable values are None, Message, Timer, Error, Cancel, Link, Compensation, Signal, and Multiple).
The Throw checkbox within the Common Event Details permits the QualiWare user to specify if the trigger is being thrown to the next Activity in sequence, versus the default would be Catch (i.e., without the Throw checkbox turned on).
In an Environmental Impact diagram, the “Environmental Aspect” symbol represents any element of an organization’s activities, products, or services that can interact with the environment. This can include the use of natural resources, the emission of pollutants, or the creation of waste.
It may be linked to other symbols in the diagram, such as inputs, outputs, or processes, to show how the aspect is related to the overall environmental impact of the organization.
The Environmental Aspect symbol can have additional attributes associated with it, such as the frequency and magnitude of the impact, the relevant regulatory requirements, or the potential risks and opportunities associated with addressing the aspect.
An EducationPlan is a group of Educations, which a person has to complete in order to fulfil the EducationPlan.
Formal education or training program.
A specification of values.
