Creating Relations on the Diagram Pane

Creating Relations on the BPMN Canvas

You need to draw relations from one object element to another to create an executable process.

If you activate an element on the canvas before you create a new element, a relation is automatically created.

Pressing the ESC Esc key cancels the drawing of a relation.

Image Modified

If you press DEL during Del directly after the creation process, the relation and the active element are deleted.

Image Modified

Click on a relation to select it.

A selected relation is thicker and shows junctions.

When creating a relation, the easiest path will be chosen by default.

This may not always be desired. That's why the route of the relation can be altered by the modeler.

Use the junctions to adjust the selected relation.
