Enter custom properties
When you place shapes from the Process Simulation stencil, default names appear (e.g.,
Create 1, Process 1) to identify the steps in the process flow. Typically, you’ll replace
these names with descriptions of the process steps. To do so, simply select the shape and
type the new name, as with other standard Visio shapes.
The Process Simulation stencil’s shapes also provide custom dialogs for defining property
values, including lists of valid options and other features to aid you in quickly characteriz-
ing process data. To open the dialog box, either double-click on the shape or right-click
and select Edit Shape Properties from the pop-up menu, as shown below.
Either of these actions will display the appropriate dialog box for the shape. The dialogs
that Arena presents for its corresponding modules are designed to match those in Visio, so
that you’re working in a familiar interface, whether mapping your process in Visio or
Arena.
