The Web-based Designer is a customized version of the open source oryx web based process editor. It can be used to author BPMN 2.0 compliant processes graphically. The process files are stored by the server on a central file system. That file system acts as the model repository.



The Web-based Designer primary's purpose is to author BPMN 2.0 process diagrams in a browser. But the scope of the project goes beyond just process modeling. They have a stencil set pluggability mechanism that allows them to support various kinds of diagram types like for example organization charts. The Web-based Designer normally stores the JSON formatted diagrams in the backend and then it provides export and import to specific file types like BPMN 2. But the backend they they have created specially for us is based on a simple file system and includes the export-import to the specific file format. That way the BPMN 2 processes are stored on the file system in the BPMN 2.0 file format.
