Rule Builder > Ruleflows > Creating a Ruleflow > Creating Transitions

A transition provides a means of connecting the tasks and nodes in a ruleflow.

In the example, all of the nodes of the ruleflow are now created, and you can create the transitions between them.

  1. Click the Create Transition images/icon_CreateTransitiona.png button in the Ruleflow Creation toolbar, and then click it again. This makes the transition icon persistent, allowing you to create as many transitions as you want until you deselect the button.
  2. The cursor changes to a "+" in the Ruleflow Editor.
  3. Connect the nodes with each other as shown in Figure 9.14; click once to select the source node, move the cursor to the destination, and click again to create the link.

  6. Click the Perform Node Layout images/tool19a.png button in the Ruleflow Operations toolbar. This adjusts the position of the diagram objects, straightens the links, and generally makes the diagram more readable.
    Tip
    You can perform a node layout at any time.
  7. When you have finished creating transitions, click the Create Transition button in the Ruleflow Creation toolbar to deselect it.
