Process Blocks

1. Select Block

Icon: The Select Block tool is used to select, move, and manipulate existing blocks or connections within the process design area. This is the primary interaction tool and should be activated when you need to adjust layout or re-position elements in your workflow.

2. Start Block

Icon: The Start Block marks the entry point of your process. Every process begins with this block, and it typically initiates a trigger such as a user action, scheduled job, or system event..

3. End Block

Icon: The End Block indicates where the process flow terminates. It represents the final outcome or completion point of a workflow.

Tip: Multiple End Blocks can be used if your process has various exit points (e.g., different paths based on decisions).

4. Task Block

Icon: The Task Block represents an actionable step or operation within the process. This could include database operations, email sending, or any functional task.

5. Decision Block

Icon: The Decision Block introduces conditional logic into your process. Based on data or results from a previous task, it allows the flow to branch into multiple paths (e.g., IF/THEN/ELSE).

Tip: Each Decision Block should be followed by at least two paths—typically representing "Yes" and "No" or "True" and "False".

6. Text Block

Icon: The Text Block is used to annotate your process diagram with notes, labels, or instructions. It does not affect the process logic and serves solely as documentation.

7. Connection Tool

Icon: The Connection Tool links blocks together, establishing the flow direction between them. Each connection defines the process's sequence and logic path.

8. Hand Cursor

Icon: The Hand Cursor enables you to pan across the design canvas. It’s useful for navigating large or complex workflows without accidentally selecting or editing elements.

9. Rotate Orient

Icon: The Rotate Orient tool changes the orientation of the process layout. It allows you to switch between horizontal and vertical flows depending on your design preference.
