 Embedded subprocesses are often used together with **boundary events**. One or more boundary events can be attached to a subprocess. When an interrupting boundary event is triggered, the entire subprocess (including all active elements) is terminated.

+A subprocess can be collapsed to conceal its internal details, thereby hiding complexity within an activity and enabling the nesting of multiple levels of subprocesses. This functionality allows you to simplify the view of a process diagram and facilitates drill-down capabilities to examine details.

+Collapsed subprocesses serve purely display purposes. For the creation of reusable processes, it is recommended to utilize [call activities](../call-activities/call-activities.md).

 ## Variable mappings
 
 Input mappings can be used to create new local variables in the scope of the subprocess. These variables are only visible within the subprocess.
