I thought I would start with a post to the Metastorm Community with a tip on a recent capability that we have added to ProVision. Users now have the ability to substitute an object in the model with another object of the same type. When the object is substituted it will assume the same position and links in the model as the previous object. This feature was first put into ProVision with the Dimension capability. It was expanded with the 6.2 Object Sharing capability, but it will work for any object whether dimensioned, shared or regular.
To use Object Substitution, do the following:
Place the new object that you want to use in your open notebook.
Find the object that you would like to replace and right-click on it.
Select 'Edit' in the pop-up menu, and then 'Substitute Object' within Edit.
An Object Select dialog will appear with all the objects of the same type.
Select the new object, then select OK.
6. The new object will appear in the model in place of the old, with all of the appropriate association changes.
This capability will work whether the object is a standard node in a model or a lane in a workflow model. I trust you will find this capability useful.
