Connecting Workflow Elements

Steps to connect workflow elements

1. Click a flow, for example, Sequence flow ( ) in the Palette. The flow is selected.

2. Drag the cursor between two workflow elements. Both workflow elements are connected with the selected flows (see Figure 19).

3. Connect all workflow elements with appropriate control flow (see Figure 21).

4. To select the type of sequence flow, right click it, point the cursor to Condition Type option and select the type of flow that you want to use (see Error! Reference source not found.).

5. Connect all workflow elements with appropriate control flow (see Figure 21).

   You can reposition the workflow elements by moving the arrow keys. All elements except Sequence flow can be repositioned. Repositioning elements automatically resizes the swim lanes and the Pool.

6. Similarly, you can add workflow elements to all swim lanes and connect them using the required control flow.
7. Default Sequence Flow ( ) must be one of the outputs from the decision node.

Once you have designed the complete process model, you need to save the process model.
