Connecting processes in flowcharts
Connect processes in a flowchart to specify the direction of data flow and the order in which the processes run. If you move processes within the workspace, existing connections remain and visually adjust to the new location. This visual adjustment does not affect data flow. You affect data flow only by adding or deleting connections.
1.
Open a campaign flowchart for editing.
2.
Move your cursor over the process box that you want to connect to another box.
Four arrows appear around the box.
3.
Drag one of the arrows from the source process to the destination process.
When four arrows appear on the destination process, release the mouse button to complete the connection.
The processes are now connected. An arrow indicates the direction of data flow (from - to). The source process will run before the destination process. Data that is output from the source process is then available as input to the destination process. For example, a Select process generates output, which can then serve as input to a Segment process.
