Rule Builder > Ruleflows > Creating a Ruleflow > Creating Fork and Join Nodes

A fork node provides a means of specifying multiple paths from a single point. A join node provides a means of specifying a single path from multiple paths. Use transitions to connect the points.

Since no specific order of execution of the Category and Messages rule tasks in the example ruleflow is required, they can be put in a fork/join structure.

  1. To create the fork node, click the Create Fork Node images/icon_CreateForkNodea.png button on the Ruleflow Creation toolbar and then click in the Ruleflow Editor. The fork node appears.
  2. To create the join node, click the Create Join Node images/icon_CreateJoinNodea.png button on the Ruleflow Creation toolbar and then click in the Ruleflow Editor. The join node appears, as shown in Figure 9.11.
