A decision point showing which different paths a flow could be going depending on conditions or events.
Description
Gateway symbolises a division of the flow and is used to describe the process logic after the decision. The flow can either follow one alternative (Exclusive gateway - logical condition: XOR) or multiple activities should be done in a parallel order (parallel gateway - logical condition: AND). There is even a gateway which is more open and allows one or multiple alternative (Inclusive gateway - logical condition: OR).
Example
Examples of gates are:
- Case approved? (XOR with options "YES" and "NO")
- Type of insurance (XOR with options "Non-life insurance" and "Life insurance")
- Are all activities complete? (AND with the different options)
