The Mapping Editor creates transformation rules ("Mappings") for the conversion of models between different methods and tools with the help of the BPM-X Converter.

A transformation rule defines which elements of the source method are mapped to which elements of the target method. Moreover, method definitions created with the Method Builder or the Visio Analyzer are used. Every element of the method, i.e., every diagram type, every element type, every border type and every attribute of the source models can be exactly defined in which diagram types, element types etc. of the target method these should be transformed. Moreover, the desired entry of the target method is assigned in the Mapping Editor to every element of the source method.

For standard transformations between the tools which interface to the BPM-X Converter, prefabricated mappings are already provided. When required, these mappings can also be adapted easily to your own requirements.
