Creating a Connector

The connector is an object in a task UI that allows you to establish flow between task steps.

To create a connector

1. Add a connector to a task UI.

   Do the work described in Adding a Step to a Task UI, with the following differences:

   • Instead of selecting and moving a step type, select and then move a connector.
   • When you select and move the connector from the Task Palette to the canvas, place the start point of the connector onto the preceding step.
   • Before you connect two steps, place the steps to be connected on a horizontal plane, with the preceding step placed first and the subsequent step placed second. Place the steps in close proximity to one another. Siebel Tools automatically connects the start point to the preceding step and the end point to the subsequent step when you drop the connector.
2. Select and move the connector end point onto the subsequent step.

   A connector end point includes an arrow.

   A connector end point that is hollow (colored white) is not connected correctly. A solid end point (colored red) indicates that the connector is connected correctly. You must make sure the ends of every connector in the task UI are solid (colored red).

3. Optional. Enter text in the Label property.

   Siebel Tools displays this text as a label on the connector in the Task Editor.
