A flow represents the connection between an activity and its subsequent activities. Flows are used to establish the sequence in which defined activities are executed.
“Sequence flows are used to show the order in which activities are carried out within a process.” [Workflow Management Coalition]
Normal flow
A flow can determine a required path, that is, the process has no option not to execute it nor an optional path, in which case, the subsequent activity may or may not be executed.
Default Flow
The exclusive and inclusive gateways must have a defined predetermined flow so that the process can execute its path in case none of the conditions for the output flows of the aforementioned gateways are met.
- Delete: Allows to eliminate the flow.
- Properties: Opens the properties panel to show and/or modify.
