Drawing routes in your process diagram

Routes are used to define the order in which a process proceeds through the operations that are defined in a process diagram. Routes are represented by arrow lines that connect operations in the process diagram.

You can specify conditions and various operations to execute based on the conditional logic of each route. You can rename the routes to identify the condition in the process diagram.

  1. In the process diagram, select the Get Form Information operation. Small circles, called anchors, appear on each side of the operation.
  2. Drag the right anchor of the Get Form Information operation to the left edge of the Loan Officer operation.
