Gateways
Gateways determine what path is taken through a process.
To add a gateway to your diagram, hover over a flow line and click
the add button 
. Select Insert an Exclusive Gateway.
Exclusive gateways are the default type of gateway, but you can use different types of gateways depending on how the outgoing paths from the gateway are determined. To change the type of a gateway, right-click the gateway and select .
| Gateway type | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Exclusive gateway |
 |
An exclusive gateway represents a choice between two or more paths. Only one path can be followed. |
| Parallel gateway |
 |
Use a parallel gateway in a process where the activities on multiple paths are performed in parallel. |
| Inclusive gateway |
 |
Use an inclusive gateway when one or more paths can be followed. All paths might be taken, but a minimum of one must be taken. |
When you insert a new gateway, two outgoing paths are added by default and are labeled as the "Yes" and "No" paths to reflect the fact that outgoing exclusive paths typically represent the answers to a Yes or No question. You can add labels to these outgoing paths by clicking the default label text and typing your own labels.
