Creating a Connector

The connector is an object in Task UI that allows you to define the flow between task steps.

To create a connector

1. Go to the Tasks list and locate and select the task you want to modify.

2. Define the flow or path of the task by adding connectors as follows:

   • (Siebel Tools) Select the Connector from the Palettes pane, then drag and drop it on the canvas. Select the connector's start point on the canvas and attach it to a step, then select and move the other end (end point) of the connector and connect it to the next step in the flow.

   • (Web Tools) Use the mouse to draw a connector line from the connector node on one step to the connector node on another step.

3. Select a connector and in the Properties pane:

   1. Enter text in the Label property. This text appears as a label on the connector.

   2. Set the Type property of the connector to Connector (which is the default value).

      Other types of connector that you can define include the following:

      • Condition Connector.. Includes a condition that must be met to continue through a path. For more information, see Creating a Branch Connector.

      • Default Connector. Does not include a condition. If a condition is not met for another connector, then the task flows down the default connector. For more information, see Creating a Branch Connector.

      • Error or User Defined Exception Connector. For more information, see Creating an Error Exception Connector.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until every step in the task is connected correctly.
