Interface Basics

The following figure shows the Process Composer for Dashboard main work area:

Process Diagram: The process diagram graphically represents a simulation process, illustrating the structure of your workflow and the sequence in which operations are performed.
Process Node: The process node contains the entire simulation process.
Context Toolbar: The context toolbar contains tools to operate on the selected item (the item with a blue border). The context toolbar appears when you select a simulation activity or an adapter.
Gateway: Gateways create branches in the simulation flow. You can also use a gateway to collect branches and return them to a single flow.
Adapter: Adapters perform actions on the data in your simulation process. Each adapter has its own editor that allows you to configure each adapter individually.
Activity: A simulation activity contains a sequence of adapters, and is a child of the workflow's parent simulation process. Click the arrow in the upper-right corner to expand or contract the contents of a simulation activity.
