Good Practices
Use of Legends
•It is recommended to use the legends to represent the condition through which a flow is passing.
•Legends have to be visually associated with the flow and are not confused with other legends.
Avoid Crossings
•As far as possible the crossings of flows should be avoided.
•If necessary, let it be in places where the legends of the flows are not confused.
Avoid Diagonal Flows
•It is always preferable to use "L" shaped flows.
•There can be multiple vertices in the flow and it is recommended to minimize their number.
Anchor Points or Ports
•Central anchor points have to be used in activities.
- Flows enter from the top side and the left side.
- Flows come out from the bottom side and the right side.
•In the gateways it is recommended to use the anchor points of the vertices.
- Flows enter through the top or left vertices, using the same entry point.
- It is recommended to distribute the outgoing flows neatly.
- The gateway name must not be below the flows.
