1. A system for working with a model of a business process comprised of an order and hierarchically organized set of tasks, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory, coupled to the one or more processors, having code stored therein that when executed by the one or more processors causes the system to perform operations comprising:
generating an editable diagram view of the business process in a first window of the graphical user interface to allow a user to edit the model of the business process; and
generating an editable tabular view in a second window of the graphical user interface of at least a portion of the model of the business process to allow a user to edit the tabular view of the model, the tabular view including a matrix of rows and columns and further including an integration of a hierarchical data structure into the matrix of rows and columns wherein the hierarchical data structure includes hierarchical levels depicted in respective rows of a single column, the tabular view module is further programmed to allow the user by interacting with the second window, from within the tabular view, to add exception flow elements and loops to link the tasks in a business process, wherein in the tabular view the tasks are separated by row and attributes associated with the tasks are separated by columns; and
allowing a user to edit the business process model, wherein the business process editing module further interacts with the diagram view module and the tabular view module to (i) allow the user to switch between the diagram view and the tabular view and (ii) provide bi-directional support of editing the diagram view and the tabular view to update the diagram view as a function of the editable information contained in the tabular view and updating the tabular view as a function of the editable information contained in the diagram view.
