Modeling process execution paths by using sequence flows

Use sequence flows to connect activities and other modeling constructs to establish the process flow.

1. Open the Process Designer desktop editor.
2. Open a process application that contains a business process definition (BPD) in the Designer view.
3. From the palette, click to select the Sequence Flow tool.
4. In your process diagram, click the first modeling construct (normally the start event), and then click the construct that follows the start event in the process flow. The Sequence Flow tool connects the two items.
5. Continue creating sequence flows as needed. If more than one sequence flow leaves the same modeling construct, the first one you add is the default sequence flow. Subsequent sequence flows that originate from the same construct are only followed under certain conditions. To specify the conditions under which a non-default path is followed:
   1. Select the sequence flow in the diagram.
   2. In the Behavior section of the Properties view, specify the condition under which the process execution follows this sequence flow. The default sequence flow is followed whenever the conditions specified for the non-default flows are not met. Conditions for all outgoing sequence flows other than the default sequence flow are required or mandatory.
6. When you are finished establishing the process flow, click the Selection Tool in the palette or press Esc to switch back to normal selection mode in the process diagram.
