Question #3: Conditional flows are recommended for exclusive gateways, especially if there are more than 2 output flows. This will make the flow more consistent.
The good answer is true, but for me, you should say : Default flows are recommended and not Conditional flows
I am a bit confused with Inclusive and Parallel gateways. In the example we created to demo the inclusive gateway both the Book Hotel and Book flight were executed in parallel, wih no condition attached to it.
Can you clarify it to me, please,
Hi! They are indeed very similar. But in the travel request, note that the person can choose if he will be needing tickets and also to book a hotel. He can choose, one OR the other, OR even both. If you use a Parallel gate, this will not work once this gateway has an AND configuration, and all paths have to be executed in order for the flow to continue (no conditions). For this example, note that both tasks are necessarily executed ( Ship Goods and Send invoice) if one is not completed the flow will not move on.

Hello,
I wasn’t able to reproduce some of the examples you showed during the past modules. In this one, for example, when I ‘right click’ on the start even, it does not show the ‘test’ option. Is it due to the fact that I am running a free version of the solution ?
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Felipe
Hello! Sorry for the late response…After you create your process, you have to automate it. Once you have enabled automation you will get the test bottom on your start event. Please let me know if this worked for you.
