Business Event

In the context of workflow diagrams and business process networks, a Business Event serves as a pivotal element that signifies specific occurrences, triggers, or decision points. Its primary purposes and core concerns are:

  • Initiation: Business Events often mark the commencement of certain processes or workflows. For instance, external stimuli like a customer order or market fluctuations can act as initiators.
  • Influence & Adaptation: Occurring amidst ongoing processes, these events might represent receipt of vital data, external interruptions, or significant decision-making junctions that can influence the course of the process.
  • Conclusion: Signaling the termination of a process, these events can denote successful completion, abrupt halts, or transitions to another process.

Throughout, the overarching concern of Business Events is to capture real-world scenarios, external influences, and key decision junctures, ensuring accurate and actionable business process modeling.

Association DMN

Association in DMN (Decision Model and Notation) refers to the relationship between different elements of a decision model, where one element is associated or linked to another element. Association can be used to represent various types of relationships, such as dependency, influence, or dependency.

For example, in a decision model where a decision is dependent on certain data inputs, the association might be illustrated through a line connecting the decision to the data input. The line would represent the association between the decision and the data input, since the decision is dependent on the input.
