Models

The Workflow Designer uses models to refer to the different building blocks of a workflow:

Model Description
App

An application bundle containing a process and optionally one or more forms, which constitutes a Collibra workflow.

Once you defined an app model, you can deploy it to Collibra.

Process A business process diagram that uses the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) standard.
Form A form presenting or requesting information that a workflow users interacts with.

Model detail view

For processes and forms, you can navigate to the model detail view page by hovering over the model and clicking the magnifying glass icon.

In the top-right area there are five buttons, which allow you to:

  • Edit the model properties, for example name, key, description, and tags.
  • Duplicate the model.
  • Remove the model.
  • Download the model as a file.
  • Open the model in the model editor.

On the right hand side of the page, you can view the dependencies and version history of the model.

Restore a previous version of a model

You can restore a previous version of a process or form from the model detail view page:

  1. Click the history icon.
  2. Select a past model version.

    A preview of the selected version appears.

    The green edit button changes to a Use as new version button.

  3. Click the Use as new version button.

A new version of the model is created based on the selected past version.
