  • Triggering events

  • Tasks in steps

  • Wait steps

  • Event creators

  • Task ID exported as SAP-specific extension

  • In case your workflow contains such step types, during import they are replaced by empty steps

  • Complex conditions

  • Data types such as structures, object type references

  • Modeled deadline monitoring

  • Activities with more than one outcome
