The process net macro that comes with the BPMN Modeler Enterprise app is designed to show all links between BPMN and DMN diagrams in one place. In this way, wanted and unwanted dependencies can be detected and the effects of changes can be clearly assessed.
To use it, place the 'Process Net Macro' on any Confluence page you wish. On creation, you can choose to display the dependencies graph for an entire Confluence space, or only for one page incl. its subpages.
After publishing the page, the process net will display the links
as a network graph
as a table
See a detailed description for each view in the following.

Important Note: New links between diagrams, which are created after upgrading to BPMN Modeler Enterprise version 3.21.0 are automatically fed into the process net database. If you already have diagram links before you upgrade, you can synchronize them all at once with the database. Please refer to [BPMN Modeler] Features for Confluence Admins Diagram Link Synchronization for this. Alternatively, at page view all diagrams on the current page will be synchronized automatically with the link database. |

In the process net graph each node stands for a diagram and each edge for an existing link. If the model element to which the link is set has a specific type, this is displayed as an indicator on the edge.
Usage:
Move canvas: drag with mouse
Move element: drag with mouse
Open diagram in presentation mode: click on node
Save layout: click 'Save' button in upper right corner
Reset to last saved layout: click 'reset' button in upper right corner

The second tab of the macro provides a tabular breakdown of the graphical representation. You see one process in focus in each row.
In the left column, all of its incoming links are displayed, together with the specific model element this link originates from.
In the right column you can see all the outgoing links of the process or the decision, also with specific element.
The corresponding diagram and model element including name and type are specified for each link. A web-link to the Confluence page on which the diagram is located is hidden behind the "Page" icon.
Since the number of links and processes or rules can become very large over time, the table view offers various filter options:
Hide incoming links: the entire left column disappears
Hide outgoing links: the entire right column disappears
Process in focus: select a specific process for which you want to see the linking info; all rows for other processes are hidden
