The Workday application can extract processes and transform them into industry-standard Extensible Process Definition Language (XPDL) format, and then deliver them as an attachment for use in any XPDL modeler.

Lucid does not allow for the XPDL file type. Lucid would get more business with any Workday customers if they allowed for this file type.

Same for Bizagi Modeling, that allow importing XPDL, but not all other format Modeler > Bizagi Modeler > Desktop Application > Exchanging processes > Exchanging with XPDL > Import a diagram from XPDL
