Controlling a Sequence with Gateway
Gateways are elements responsible for controlling flow iterations by creating alternate or parallel paths in the process. When creating a gateway, it is possible to add possible known business exceptions so that the paths are better defined giving the opportunity for the task to happen in different walks of what always happens.
What do I need to get started?
To start using Gateways, you need to know what type of gateway you need to use.
Once you have chosen the best gateway to use in your flow, learn how to complement your flow with the Gateways;
Learn how to use Gateways in the Workflow
If your flow is being done, follow the steps, but if you need to edit an existing flow to add a gateway, just choose a Flow and Click on "Edit" to open the flow drawing screen again;
- Click on the "Diagram" tab;
- To use a Gateway, click on the Gateways option in the left side menu;
- After selecting a type of Gateway you want, drag it to the flow design area, click on the activity and connect it to the Gateway;
- To configure the direction the user should follow use functions/expressions within the User Actions tab in the properties of the "User Task" activity;
- And in order for the direction in the connections that connect to other activities to be correctly identified, use the Condition within the Connection properties;
