Adding a new node

Once you create a new process definition, you can start configuring it by adding new nodes.

You can choose between a series of available node types below. For an overview of what each node represents, see BPMN 2.0 basic concepts:

• start event
• end event
• service task
• user task
• parallel gateway
• exclusive gateway
• message send event
• message receive event
• start milestone
• end milestone

Steps for creating a new node

To create a new node on an existing process:

1. Open FLOWX.AI Designer and from the Processes tab select Definitions.
2. Open your process.
3. Click the Edit process button from the process definition.
4. Drag and drop one node element.
5. To connect the node that you just created:
   • Click the node, select the arrow command
   • Click the node that you wish to link to the newly added node

For each new node, you can set its name, and a set of values (timeout, topic name, key name) and you can also add various actions to it.
