EA Workspace Visualiazation Shape imports/packages

[GGriessler]

Hi,

are there any imports regarding shape sets to extend the shapes for modelling/visualization in the EA Workspace available?

Or has somebody already experience regarding importing shapes?

Thanks for any input!

What's your use case? What doesn't the current package provide that you want external packaging? Be aware that anything you import can break on any future update/upgrade.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your input.

We were thinking of for example extending the available BPMN objects to the full BPMN 2.0 notation.

We could do that manually.

But maybe there is already a package created by somebody who already did that, which could simply be imported, or an explored way of importing shapes in bulk.

I do hope that simply adding more shapes does not break anything on an update/upgrade.

Kind regards

Gerhard

Any custom update to OOB can break on an update. I'm not saying it will, but there always is the possibility, because new development from ServiceNow is done without any regards to the custom things you use.

Hi Mark,

I'm with you, but as adding new shapes is also directly mentioned in the training for EA, I would estimate the risk quite low on this one.

Kind regards
