Process Simulator 2010 has been developed and released in conjunction with the Microsoft Visio 2010 release. Process Simulator 2010 takes advantage of all the new capability introduced in Visio 2010. So let’s find out what Process Simulator and Visio 2010 can do for you!
Visio 2010 Application Demo
Business Process Management in Visio 2010 Premium
Microsoft Office Fluent user interface
Find and access the features and tools you need more quickly with a new user interface that is consistent with other Office applications. Process Simulator installs with its own ribbon in Visio that makes access to its functionality easier than ever.
New and improved Shapes area
The new Shapes window enables you to more quickly find and select the stencils you want, and easily move between them. Near the top of every stencil – above a faint dividing line – a new Quick Shapes area holds the shapes you want to use most often in a stencil. Process Simulator has a new stencil containing new shapes which not only help make your diagrams look more professional but also allow application of the Themes gallery.
Quick Shapes Mini Toolbar
Add shapes without leaving the drawing page with one mouse click, using a floating window that contains your most common shapes. As you hover over the Quick Shapes mini toolbar, you are given a live preview of where the shape will be placed. Click and drag on the blue arrow that appears and you are immediately changed to the Connector tool allowing you to create a connection to an existing shape on the diagram. This enables you to connect shapes without switching between the Pointer and Connector tools!
Insert and delete shapes with auto-healing
Insert new shapes into connected flow diagrams without having to move or realign existing shapes. Delete shapes from connected flow diagrams without having to delete or reconnect leftover connectors.
Page Auto Size
Create larger diagrams without worrying about the page size with an expandable canvas that automatically adjusts to your need.
Diagram Validation and new and improved Templates
Visio 2010 has new Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) and Six Sigma templates. Diagram Validation ensures accuracy of your BP diagrams by checking them against the BPMN business rules and logic. The Cross-Functional Flowchart template has been completely redesigned making it even easier to insert, move and modify swim lanes, among other new capabilities.
Subprocesses
Easily and automatically break complex processes in diagrams into more manageable pieces using subprocesses. Select a section of shapes in your existing diagram, choose to create a subprocess from your selection and Visio will automatically move those shapes to another page in your document, replace them in the main diagram with a single shape, and create a hyperlink to the newly create page!
Share a diagram in a browser
Publish any type of diagram (static or data-linked) to SharePoint Server 2010 using Visio Services, with just a few clicks. Diagrams are rendered in Microsoft® Silverlight™ (high-fidelity) or PNG format.
Publish to SharePoint Process Repository
Store, share, and reuse business process diagrams and subprocesses through Visio 2010 integration with SharePoint 2010 Process Repository.
