So that the individually adapted graphic template also appears in the graphics, it must be assigned to the graphic folders. In the default setting, the Default Page graphic template is used for all graphics, as this is assigned to the Processes, Information, Areas folders.
Please note that this function involves extensive editing of graphics in the current process model. The operation cannot be undone. Please make sure to back up the process model beforehand!
In earlier viflow versions, an adapted graphic template had to be "applied" so that the change would also take effect in the existing graphics. This procedure is no longer necessary in viflow – after activation, the graphic template automatically appears in the processes, information or areas to which it was assigned!
If graphics were still open when a new graphic template was assigned to them, viflow recognizes this change and a corresponding message appears above the graphic.
Click on Reload so that the modified graphic template is also loaded in the previously opened graphic.
Activating a Graphic Template for all Process Graphics

] on the folder (here: "Processes") and select Properties from the context menu.
The Properties window of the Processes folder opens. - If you open the Miscellaneous tab, the currently activated graphic template is displayed (still the Default Page here).
- Now select the new template by clicking on the expand button.
The new template has been activated and will be used in all process graphics from now on.
Activating a Graphic Template for a selection of Process Graphics
- Open the Overview window by clicking the Windows button on the View tab.
Alternatively, you can also open the viflow Explorer (View – Explorer). - Now open a subfolder of the Processes folder to activate the graphic template for this folder with all the processes it contains.
In this example, all core processes are selected. - Now activate the corresponding graphic template for the selected folder by proceeding as described above in points 3 + 4.
The selected template is now used in all processes in this folder, all other processes keep their original graphic template.
Activating a Graphic Template for Information Objects and Area Graphics
The procedure is exactly the same as that described above for activating the graphic template for process graphics – except that you do this in the Overview window the folder information objects or areas have to use.
