To connect two processes
You connect the processes in your flowchart to specify the direction of data flow and the order in which processes are run. If you move processes within the workspace, existing connections will remain, and will adjust to the moved process’s new location. Connections can be easily added or deleted.
1.
Within a campaign, open a flowchart for editing.
You see the process palette and workspace.
2.
Move your cursor over the connection box in the process from which you want to create a connection.
The cursor changes to three downward arrows.
3.
Click and drag a line to the process to which you want to make a connection.
The source process is highlighted. As you drag your cursor, the connecting line is drawn from the source process.
4.
Release the mouse anywhere over the destination process.
The source and destination process are connected with an arrow showing the direction of data flow. The source process will run before the destination process, and data output from the source process can be available as input to the destination process.
If the destination process receives data from the source process, the connection is shown as a solid line. If the destination process does not receive data from the source process but cannot run successfully until the source process has completed, the connection is shown as a dotted line.
