Connector Style Provision 6.1.1

Shari Morgoch

As a very new user of PV, I have a basic question that none of the guide functions seem to address.  How do I set the default Font and size for all connectors in my workflow model? Each time I draw a connector I have to manual edit the style.  I have found the abilty to set the overall text/font on objects, but not on the connectors on my diagram.  All the copy format options are not active and the style function is only active when I select a specific connector.

 

On a side note, is there a recommended publication for the use of PV? I have Metastorm Provision 6 Made Easy, but it doesn't address this question either.

Hello,

 

You can work through the Guided Tour material, or the Getting Started Material.  This should give you a good baseline to start with.  We also offer training classes that can be very helpful.

 

In terms of setting default styles for all objects/future objects, you will want to modify your Modeling Language.  To do so, go to Tools -> Customization. Next, go to the Object Types tab, select your object type (or go to the Links sub-tab) and click Style. 

 

To retain this style for other users, you will need to supply them with a copy of your modified modeling language.  You can create a copy by using Interface -> ProVision Modeling Language -> and exporting a copy.

 

Regards,

Matt
