Connectors

Connectors are used to define the flow sequence and process paths by linking events and activities to each other. The process paths formed are unidirectional. You can connect only one connector to the input or output point of an element. If you want to have multiple paths for an element, you must use a gateway.


Connectors are represented by arrows in the process designer.
