Linking Tasks

Tasks are linked via connector lines. They establish the dependencies between tasks.

You define the order in which tasks are processed within workflows by linking them. You use the line connectors for this.

To Link Tasks

1. Hover the mouse over the start or the end point of a task.

   Arrow symbols are displayed, from which you can start drawing the lines.

2. Click and hold the arrow symbol and drag it to the task you want to link.
3. Release the mouse button. The two tasks are now linked to each other.

You can only link from a node's ending (to the right of the box) to a task's beginning (to the left of the box) or vice versa. You cannot link a task to itself.

There are two types of special workflows that work slightly different in this respect because their tasks are linked automatically.:

• FOREACH workflows; they represent loops

  For details on these workflows see ForEach Tab.

• IF workflows; they represent IF statements

  For details on these workflows see If Tab.

Selected lines are highlighted.

Deleting Connector Lines

You can delete connector lines (and thus unlink tasks) as follows:

• Select the line and hit the delete button on your keyboard, or
• Select and right-click the line to select Delete from the context menu.
