Sequence Flow

The arrows connecting shapes together to make a process.

Sequence flows are the arrows connecting different shapes in a process together, to form a Process. Instead of Sequence flows, Message flows are also used with the artifact shapes to visually connect the descriptive shapes into shapes of the Process, optionally showing the data flow direction if data object or data store reference shapes are used.

When used with conditions, especially inclusive decision shape, the sequence flows also include the condition for each path. Default path can also be specified when used with either decision shape, signifying the path to take if conditions are not fulfilled.

Because Frends utilises BPMN notation to create integration flows, Sequence flow in Frends means an arrow connecting different shapes together. It should not be mixed up with connectors in integrations in general, as those are more alike Tasks in Frends, while sometimes connector in Frends might be used to mean a Sequence flow.

Sequence flows within a Process make it a Process and not a set of separate Tasks.
