A new BPMN diagram is available in the Diagrams page in the business process content area in Alfabet Fastlane. Business applications and data objects (=Business Objects) can be added to the BPMN diagram.

Please note however that if the business data usage already exists in the database, then two arrows will be displayed for the message flow. The input or output arrow that is not required must be manually hidden in the diagram via the context menu for the message flow.

These filter captions are now aligned with the business analysis type Maturity Assessment.
