> #### Using XPDL in Task Manager

> XPDL is the XML process definition language. It is a standard of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) that defines a common interchange format for process definitions (templates in BPM). XPDL is the vehicle by which BPM transfers templates between different BPM Servers and to separate workflow products.

> The following is a definition of XPDL from the WfMC Glossary:

> The representation of a business process in a form that supports automated manipulation, such as modelling, or enactment by a workflow management system. The process definition consists of a network of activities and their relationships, criteria to indicate the start and termination of the process, and information about the individual activities, such as participants, associated IT applications and data, etc.

> The mechanisms for transferring templates within BPM are the Import and Export functions. The import function is available through both the Task Manager and the Development Manager. The export function is only available through the Development Manager.
