Name: this field displays the flow name. If this field is empty, it indicates that the flow (connector) does not have any text close to its arrow. Fill it in to define the flow name. The field will only be enabled when the data is accessed through the flowchart; otherwise, use the General section to fill it out.

Source: this field is filled in with the item that originates the flow. If the source is a user activity, the Related action and Related conditional expression tabs will be displayed. If the source is a gateway, the Formula and Default execution fields will be displayed.

Destination: this field is filled in with the item that is the destination of the flow.

Intermediate border event: when the error event is selected, the route type will be automatically set to "Exception path". This flow is intended to be executed (be the target) when an error occurs during the execution of the web service or external application configured in the system activity.
Note: this field will only be displayed when the source item is a system activity.

Route type: use this field to define whether the flow is part of the activity's default route or if it is part of the exception path.

Lean wastes: if the "Exception path" option has been selected, it will be possible to associate the lean wastes generated by this exception.

Formula: this field is presented only when the source item is a gateway, that is, the input flow of a gateway. Click on this button to define the execution of the flow by means of a formula. On the screen that will be opened, enter the desired formula. Below are two examples of formulas:

Example 1

In this example, the ATTRIBUTEVALUE() function is used with an attribute (D001 - Attribute 01) of the list of values type, whose values can be "Value 01", "Value 02", and "Value 03". If the "Value 01" value is selected for the "D001" attribute during the execution of the process instance, the output flow will be executed; otherwise, it will not be executed:

IF(ATTRIBUTEVALUE('D001') = 'Value 01') 
RETURN TRUE 
ELSE 
RETURN FALSE 
END 
 

Example 2

In this example, the FIELDVALUE() function is used to check whether a combobox (associated with the docuser attribute of the DCPD-Documentation revision entity) has been filled. If the field has been filled in, that is, if the function returns the "True" value, the formula will return the "True" value; otherwise, it will return 'False'.

IF(FIELDVALUE('DCPD';'docuser') = TRUE) 
RETURN TRUE 
ELSE 
RETURN FALSE 
END

• Default execution: this option will be displayed when the source item is a gateway, that is, a gateway output flow. Check this field to define the output flow as the default execution of the gateway. It is recommended that this field be checked when the other gateway output flows already have some condition programmed via formula. Thus, if no condition defined in the formula of the other fields returns as "true", the flow that is checked with this option will be executed.
• Force gateway execution disregarding remaining input flows: this option will be displayed when the destination item is a complex gateway, that is, the input flow of a "Complex" gateway. Check this option so that the system executes the gateway regardless of the input flow.
• You must execute the flow to proceed: this option will be displayed when the destination item is a complex gateway, that is, the input flow of a "Complex" gateway. Check the Condition for verification option to define the condition to be verified, that is, enter the Gateway that must have been executed previously and select the Executed output flow that will be enabled with the condition.

This tab will display the activity related to the flow. For activities and decisions, the action flow types can be fixed or variable. The variable must have at least one conditional expression created.

If the action flow type is variable, the conditional expressions of the flow will be displayed on this tab.
