Gateways

Gateways are decision points that change the path of the workflow under certain conditions.

Parallel gateway

A parallel gateway is used to show tasks (at least two) that are running at the same time. It is used to visualize the concurrent execution of actions.

 

Currently, three parallel paths can be executed at the same time.

 

Inclusive gateways

In an inclusive gateway, the workflow is separated into one or more paths. They could all be taken, or only one of them. You need to configure inclusive gateways.

Double-click the gateway to edit the path settings and create new paths.

 

 

Creating rules in inclusive gateways

In the Path settings window, you can rename and configure the default path, and you can add and configure additional paths. The configuration in each individual path is based on a rule, which you can create over the field expression:

 

If the rules are too complex, you can group them via the field Group.

In the first drop down Field, you can select the different fields which are available in this process. These fields are originally coming from a form or more forms in the previous part of the process.

The drop-down Operator sets the rule. The following operators are available:

  • equals

  • is greater than

  • is greater or equal to

  • is less than

  • is less or equal to

  • does not equal

Based on your required rule for the path in the third section you can either select a field or define a value to complete the selection in this path.

It is also possible to create multiple expressions with and/or rules to individualize your rule for the inclusive gateway path as you wish.
