Connectors (Edges)

Connectors in a process diagram links two objects which are either associated or need to be executed in a sequential order.

Connectors (which might also be termed connectors, edges, or transitions) are of two types:

  • An association associates data or artifacts with flow objects. They can show how data is provided to or generated by an activity. They can link text annotations with the objects they annotate.
  • A sequence flow is a connector that indicates the order in which activities are done. Sequence flow connectors connect events, activities, and gateways.

The next section explains more about sequence flow.

Note:
Sequence Flows Emerging from Gateways
 In this release, only sequence flows emerging from gateways can have expressions.
