Process Variant

A variation of a process model that differs from its template in at least one dimension or value.

A process variant is a distinct version of how a specific process is executed in diverse setups. These variations may appear due to factors like geographical locations, customer channels, business units, or any unique characteristic that prompts the need for process customization. Variants differ in elements such as process sequence, roles and responsibilities, IT systems, documents, and other process attributes.

To create a process variant:

Make an existing diagram a variant by attaching it to a process template.

Note

You can attach a variant to a template that uses the same modeling notation. To a BPMN model, for example, you can only attach BPMN variants.
Clone a template to create a variant.
Clone a variant to create a new variant.

You manage process variants in SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub. Which actions you are able to perform depends on your role and authorizations, and where you access the diagrams.
