Add gateways
RapidValue task

Add gateways to the flow where required. A gateway is a decision point where the flow is directed in a certain way based on criteria or user action. You can use these types of gateways:

  • Exclusive: you can choose but one of the paths.
  • Inclusive: you can choose any of the paths. So, this can be one path ore several paths.
  • Parallel: you must do all paths.
Usually, two gateways are used for a decision point: an opening gateway and a closing gateway. These gateways must be of the same type. As a consequence, usually, a flow has an even number of gateways.
Each exclusive gateway has a question or description to shortly explain the decision to be made. Inclusive and parallel gateways can have such a question or description, if required.
