Process map is a visual representation of the process, in other words a schematic diagram that shows the progress of a process instance and related tasks.
It allows users to monitor the progress of a process instance execution.
To open a process map in ELMA Web Application go to the process instance page and click the Process map button in the toolbar (Fig. 1).
Process map button is available to the process initiators and the users with respective access permissions. Permissions can be assigned on the access to processes page in the Task Listsection.

Clicking this button on the process instance page will open the process map in a new browser tab or window.
Tasks on the process map have the following color representation:
Completed tasks and passed transitions have a bold blue outline;
A task being executed in the process has a bold green outline (it applies to all activities except for Scripts and Send Message);
Scriptsand Send Message have a bold light blue outline each time they are being executed (unless some errors occurred). Apart from that, Gateways waiting in a queue for processing might have the same outline;
Activities that were not executed due to an error have a bold dark yellow bold outline. Mind that in the execution queue the number of attempts to execute this activity must be more than 1 and less than 8;
Activities that were not executed due to an error have a bold red outline when the number of attempts to execute an activity is more than 8. In that case the system terminates automatic attempts to execute the activity.
If you left-click on completed tasks on the process map or on the task you are currently executing, the task page will open in a new browser tab (if the user has permissions to view the task list).

On a process map you can left-click on an active sub-process. In this case, the map of this sub-process will open in a new browser tab (fig. 3). To return to the map of the parent process, click Go to the parent process.
