In the case of an Exclusive gateway, only one output branch can be selected from those available. The branch can be selected as a function of the Data available for the process, or of the Events occurring during its execution.

In the case of a Parallel gateway, all output branches are processed simultaneously.

In the case of a Complex gateway, one or several output branches can be selected from those available.

A Complex gateway represents a combination of those above.

When the gateway has been created, its type can be modified in its properties page.

At output of a step, a gateway represents a point of divergence of sequence flows of a process.
