Types of Processes

When exporting animations, Unistep distinguishes between diagrams with linked streams (drill down) and non-linked streams. In a linked stream, the control flow continues from one process to another in sequence. If a diagram contains only non-linked streams, Unistep animates and exports each stream independently. When a stream is linked to another, Unistep can follow the link, either horizontally (“serial” — steps on the same level), or vertically in drill-down mode (to a sub-level — see more explanations here).

Multi-stream Diagrams

In this type of diagram, you define multiple independent processes for later animation using diagram shapes.

Display processes step by step to understand their behavior over time.
Overlay multiple processes on the same base diagram to see how they interact.
Share animated diagrams with teammates; if they have Unistep, they can also animate and modify them.

The same shape can belong to different processes.

Select a process stream with one click — and watch it come alive.

Drill-down Processes

In this mode, a process is linked to other processes — either horizontally (serial mode) or vertically in drill-down mode — allowing you to explore hierarchical levels in detail.
