Process Modeling Concepts : Flows

Flows
Flows in a process can be either mesage flows or sequence flows.
Message Flows
A message flow indicates the flow of messages between objects in separate pools or between pools.
This process shows a mortgage approval process where the customer details are sent to the credit agency for approval using a message. In this case the pool and lane that represent the credit agency process are closed because we either do not care about or are not familiar with their internal processes.
Sequence Flows
Sequence flows indicate the order in which activities will be performed. You can set up sequence flows between flow objects (activities, events, and gateways). When you create a sequence flow, you can highlight it, right-click and select one of the following types of sequence flow:
In this example, an enquiry is responded to either by email (the default), or depending on a condition, by fax.
