Gateways
Gateways are used to control how the process flows through Sequence Flows, or the order of elements in a process.
Exclusive gateway
Used to create diverging, alternative paths within a process when only one of the alternative paths can be taken.
Attributes: General
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Model ID | The unique identifier of the element within the process model. |
| Name | The name of the element displayed in the diagram. |
| Documentation | A description and any additional information about this element. |
Attributes: Details
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Flow order | The order in which the outgoing flows will be evaluated and stored in the XML representation of the process. |
Attributes: Execution
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous | When enabled, the activity starts as an asynchronous job. |
Attributes: Visuals
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Font color | The font color of the element in the diagram. |
| Font size | The font size of the element in the diagram. |
| Font style | The font style of the element in the diagram. |
| Font weight | The font weight of the element in the diagram. |
| Background color | The background color of the element in the diagram. |
| Border color | The border color of the element in the diagram. |
Parallel gateway
Used to combine and create parallel flows to model situations where more than one path is executed in parallel.
Attributes: General
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Model ID | The unique identifier of the element within the process model. |
| Name | The name of the element displayed in the diagram. |
| Documentation | A description and any additional information about this element. |
Attributes: Details
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Gateway type | The operator indicating that all outgoing branches are activated simultaneously and all incoming branches need to be completed: AND |
| Flow order | The order in which the outgoing flows will be evaluated and stored in the XML representation of the process. |
Attributes: Execution
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous | When enabled, the activity starts as an asynchronous job. |
Attributes: Visuals
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Font color | The font color of the element in the diagram. |
| Font size | The font size of the element in the diagram. |
| Font style | The font style of the element in the diagram. |
| Font weight | The font weight of the element in the diagram. |
| Background color | The background color of the element in the diagram. |
| Border color | The border color of the element in the diagram. |
Inclusive gateway
Used to create diverging, but parallel alternative paths within a process. As each path is independent, any combination of paths may be taken.
Attributes: General
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Model ID | The unique identifier of the element within the process model. |
| Name | The name of the element displayed in the diagram. |
| Documentation | A description and any additional information about this element. |
Attributes: Details
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Gateway type | The operator indicating that any outgoing branch may be activated and any incoming branches may be completed: OR. |
| Flow order | The order in which the outgoing flows will be evaluated and stored in the XML representation of the process. |
Attributes: Execution
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous | When enabled, the activity starts as an asynchronous job. |
Attributes: Visuals
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Font color | The font color of the element in the diagram. |
| Font size | The font size of the element in the diagram. |
| Font style | The font style of the element in the diagram. |
| Font weight | The font weight of the element in the diagram. |
| Background color | The background color of the element in the diagram. |
| Border color | The border color of the element in the diagram. |
