Associating a Data Object with a Sequence Flow
You can specify that the content of a shared object is sent at sequencing of two operations.
For example, a shared object "Purchase Request" can be sent between the operations "Enter Purchase Request" and "Finalize Request".
*A data object is used to explain how documents, data, and other objects are used and updated during the process. A data object can represent an electronic document, or any other type of object, electronic or physical.
To simultaneously create a sequence flow and a data object:
1. Click the Sequence Flow button arrow, option Sequence Flow with Data Object.
2. Connect the operations.
The add sequence flow dialog box appears.
3. In the Content drop-down list, select the content you wish to associate with the flow.
The sequence flow and its content are displayed in the diagram.
