Adding an advanced shape to a flow

You can add an advanced shape to a flow to call external applications, manage parallel subprocesses, or pause the process. By using Process Modeler to integrate advanced shapes with other shapes in your flow diagram, you can refine the sequence of events that a case follows at run time.

1. Open a flow.

2. In the toolbar of Process Modeler, click the Shape palette icon to display a menu of shapes.

3. Click and drag a shape from the Advanced Shapes submenu to a position on the flow diagram.

4. Replace the default name of the shape with descriptive text that is fewer than 128 characters.

5. Double-click the shape.

6. Configure the shape by entering a value in each field of the property panel.
