Connecting the Elements

Go Up to Session 3: Creating a Business Process Model Diagram

There are three different types of connectors used in the Business Process Modeling Notation: Sequence Flow, Message Flow, and an Association.

To complete our diagram we are going to use the Sequence Flow connector to connect all elements in the diagram.

1. Click the Sequence Flow icon () on the Business Process Toolbar.
2. Draw sequence flows between the following elements:
   • Start Event to Check Order task
   • Check Order task to Check Inventory task
   • Check Inventory task to Confirm Order Pull task
   • Check Order Pull task to Order Filled end event
   • Check Order Error Intermediate Event to the Handle Fault task
   • Handle Fault task to Fault Resolved end event

   This completes the process of creating the business process diagram. Your diagram should resemble the following graphic.
