Chapter 4 Building an Analysis Business Process Model
When there are several flows, each condition is evaluated in order to choose the one the flow will transit on. The Condition tab defines the nature of the condition attached to a flow.
The Condition tab contains the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Alias | Summarizes the condition attached to a flow. It is recommended to write an alias (short editor) when using a long condition in order to display the alias instead of the condition in the diagram |
| Editor | Details the condition. For example, you can write information on the condition to execute, as well as open, insert and save any text files containing valuable information |
The Alias (or Editor, if the Alias box is empty) is displayed near the source symbol as shown below:
If you do not type any alias or editor in the corresponding boxes and if the flow type is not the default value (Success), then the displayed condition will be the flow type.
In an executable BPM, the Condition tab allows you to select an event to create an event handler.
For more information about event handlers in an executable BPM, see section Defining event handlers in chapter Building an executable BPM: Managing Data an Choreography.
Opening the Condition tab
You can open the Condition tab by right-clicking the flow symbol in the diagram, and selecting Condition.
