Drawing routes

Routes connect operations and define the order in which operations execute. Routes, which are represented by arrow lines, connect operations in the process diagram. You can draw multiple routes that originate from a step to indicate different paths in the process. You cannot draw routes from a start point to an operation. Routes are created automatically to the operation that is set as the Start Activity.

Draw routes

  1. Select the Review and approve loan form operation. Four anchors appear around the operation. Each anchor is displayed as a round circle.

  2. Drag the right anchor to the Set Form To APPROVED operation and release your mouse button. Notice that, as you drag to the Set Form To APPROVED operation, an arrow connects the two operations. (To delete a route, right-click the route and select Delete Route or press Delete.)

  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to draw routes between these operations:

    • Set Form To APPROVED to Create PDF Form operation

    • Create PDF Form to Save PDF Form To Network operation

    • Save PDF Form To Network to View Approval Status operation

    • Review And Approve Loan Form to Set Form To NOT APPROVED operation

    • Set Form To NOT APPROVED to View Approval Status operation

  4. Select File > Save.

After you draw the routes, the process diagram looks like this illustration:
