Speaking of Subprocess component...

...

The Subprocess component represents a point in the process where another complete process, which is the subprocess, will be initiatedstarts. In other words, this component represents a set of grouped activities – that form a process – within a main or larger process, allowing encapsulation of this set of activities within a single component to facilitate the reading and maintenance of the main process diagram.

With the Subprocess component, it is possible to you can break down large and complex processes into smaller parts – subprocesses – improving the understanding comprehension of the steps, as it prevents the diagrams from becoming confusing, simplifying the modeling and management of the process as a whole.

It is You can also possible to reuse a workflow in multiple processes or at various points within the same process, which ensures consistency of the steps, minimizes errors, saves modeling time, and reduces the effort of configuring components.

...

If the main process flow allows for a return, when the request reaches the subprocess step, a new request will be opened opens in the subprocess, and the main process request will be is blocked until the subprocess request is completed. As soon as the subprocess request is completed, the main process request is sent back to the step prior to the subprocess, so it can continue in the main flow until its completion.

When using the Subprocess component, it is you can also possible to share information between the forms of the main process and the subprocess. More details are described in the topic Sending data between the process and the subprocess.

...

...

The Subprocess component allows you to share information to be shared between the main process and the subprocess, reducing the need to manually re-enter data. For this, it is necessary that both processes – the main one and the subprocess – must have a linked form, thus enabling the flow of information between the processes in a simple and transparent manner.

The definition of the sending and receiving of information between the processes are defined is based on the configuration of the fields in both forms, allowing you to specify which values should be shared to share and the direction of each:

• main process subprocess: values will be are sent from the main process to the subprocess;

• main process subprocess: values will be are sent from the subprocess to the main process.
