Creating Flow Association

You can create a flow association.

  1. From the tree or from the 2D graph, select a function.
  2. From the Edition section of the action bar, click Create Flow Association .

    The Functional Connector dialog box appears.

    In the Functional Connector tab, the Connector Direction list proposes the following directions:

    • Emission
    • Consumption

  3. Select the convenient connector direction for the flow and click OK.
    The Flow Association dialog box appears to let you define an associated flow.
  4. Select one of these options:
    • No Flow

      By default, this option is selected.

    • Associate Existing Flow
    • Associate New Flow
  5. Click Finish.

    Depending on the Connector Direction setting, the flow association is consumed or emitted to/from function.

    It is displayed in the tree and the 2D representation of the Functional category.

    Note: If the Editor Management option is selected in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > Social and Collaborative > Global Design Management > Collaborative Lifecycle > Content Access, the Switch Flow to Edition and Switch Flow to Read Only options are available from the context menu of the flow association. Use these commands to make the flow association editable, or read only.
