Gateways Properties

Exclusive Gateway

When two or more transitions exit this shape, at least one should be marked as “Else.” The other outgoing sequence flows must have business conditions for Bizagi to evaluate. Only one can be met.
This figure is also used to synchronize paths. The first token to reach the shape will continue the flow.

Display Name: This is the display name of the Gateway that is shown in the Work Portal.
Name: This is the name of the Gateway in the database.
Description: Displays additional information for the Gateway.

A transition that exits this shape cannot enter a Sub-Process, Multiple Sub-Process, or Exclusive Gateway.
Valid shapes following this shape are: Tasks and Events.

Display Name: This is the display name of the Gateway that is shown in the Work Portal.
Name: This is the name of the Gateway in the database.
Description: Displays additional information for the Gateway.

Does not require business rules because all the transitions that come out of this shape are always fulfilled.
When the element is used to synchronize, as a convergence element, only one transition exits it. As a divergence element, many transitions exit.
It is strongly recommended to use Parallel Gateways as a convergent element after one or more Parallel Gateways used as divergent elements to enable synchronization.

Name: This is the name of the Gateway in the database.
Description: Displays additional information for the Gateway.

As a divergence element, when a Process reaches this element, the allocated user will be presented with a user interface that shows the names of the Activities following this shape as options.

Note: This is the only gateway that is executed by a user, therefore, you need to define work allocation components.
The user interface can be configured as an Activity form.
As a convergence element, the business condition will be evaluated at this point in the Process every time a transition arrives at this shape.

Description: Displays additional information for the Gateway.

When you use an Inclusive Gateway (divergence element), make sure there is at least one valid path. We recommend adding a transition with an "Else" condition in case none of the conditions are fulfilled.
As a divergence element, at least one path should be activated to be able to continue with the Process flow.
As a convergence element, more than one sequence flow should reach it, and just one sequence flow should exit from it.
Inclusive Gateways must be defined in pairs if they are going to be synchronized. One Inclusive Gateway (divergent element) must be defined to activate the paths and another Inclusive Gateway (convergent element) to synchronize them.

Expressions or actions: On Enter and On Exit expressions can be associated with Gateways.
