Creating Processing Activities from HOPEX Objects
Importing data from HOPEX
HOPEX GDPR enables you to import manually processes and applications.
To import objects from HOPEX:
1. From the navigation menu, select Import > Import from HOPEX or Excel.
2. Select the file you wish to import and click OK at the bottom of the page (on the right hand-side).
After data import the activity owner may create:
• processing activities from business/organizational processes.
• sub-processing activities from applications
Creating processing activities from processes
You can use a business or organizational process from other HOPEX solutions to create a processing activity.
To create a processing activity from a process:
1. From the navigation menu, select Import > Create processing activity from processes.
A wizard appears.
2. Select a process in the left tree and drag and drop it to the right tree under a specific department.
A processing activity has been created.

If you have troubles creating a processing activity from a sub-processing, you may find it useful to check our FAQs. See
About HOPEX GDPR Import.
Creating sub-processing activities from applications
An HOPEX application can become a sub-processing activity in HOPEX GDPR.
You can therefore use an application to create a sub-processing below an existing processing activity.
To create sub-processing activities from applications:
1. From the navigation menu, select Import > Create processing activity from applications.
2. Select an application in the left tree and drag and drop it to the right tree under a specific department.
If there is no processing activity right below the department of interest, a processing activity wizard appears. The sub-processing is created automatically under this processing activity.

The button
Create a new processing activity also enables you to create the needed processing activity directly under the concerned department.
