Requirements

This module requires the following modules:

• FlowDrop UI
• Modeler API

You also need a module that provides models through Modeler API, such as ECA.

Installation

Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. For further information, see Installing Drupal Modules.

Configuration

The module adds a modeler called "FlowDrop" to Modeler API.

1. Grant the Modeler API permission to edit models with FlowDrop, for each model owner (for example ECA) that should use it.
2. Open a model with the "Edit with FlowDrop" operation in the model list. If FlowDrop is the only modeler installed, the regular edit link uses it.

Components are configured in Drupal's own forms: double-click a node to open its form.

How models are drawn

• Events, actions, gateways and sub-processes become FlowDrop nodes.
• A condition becomes a node of its own between the two components it connects. Each condition node is a separate condition; two conditions can not follow each other directly.
• Annotations become notes. Swimlanes are not supported and are skipped.

An unchanged model saves unchanged.
