For each level you have two ways to obtain a graphic: upload a ready-made SVG file of no more than 2 MB or draw a new one in the **Process Map Editor**. Without a process map, the level still exists and simply lists its sublevels and processes.

## Prerequisites [#prerequisites]

The procedures for building up the process hierarchy require the **BPM Manager** role.

To be able to upload a **process map**, an SVG graphics file with named area elements and a maximum file size of 2 MB must be available.

## Context [#context]

If no **process map** has been assigned to a level yet, there are two alternatives:

1. **Upload process map**

   Add a file in SVG format with a maximum file size of 2 MB.
2. **Open process map editor**

   Use the process map editor to create a new process map.

You replace a process map that has already been assigned via ⋮ **Replace Process Map** next to the process map. The links are retained in the process. If Bpanda cannot transfer individual links, it shows you this before replacing.

Via ⋮ **Remove Process Map** you take it off the level again; Bpanda asks for confirmation beforehand. The level still exists and then lists its sublevels and processes without a graphic.

You create a new sublevel on the **Manage Process Space** page.

## How to proceed [#how-to-proceed]

1. In the **main menu**, select **Processes** > **Process Hierarchy**.

   The **process map** appears.
2. In the process hierarchy, navigate to the hierarchy element to which you want to assign a process map.
3. To use an SVG file as a process map, click **Upload Process Map**.

   The standard dialog for opening an SVG file to be assigned appears.

   Select the SVG file and open it.

   It is available for linking to the next sublevel.
4. To create the process map in Bpanda and then assign it, click **Open Process Map Editor**.

   The **Process Map Editor** appears.

   Create the process map and assign it by submitting it.

   It is available for linking to the next sublevel.
