Up to now, the defined process steps have been assigned to their process roles and linked linearly.

However, some of these steps do not imply a linear process flow, but symbolize decisions that determine the further process flow:

If, for example, the final review of a ticket by the tester is negative, the ticket is to be processed again and not closed.

For this purpose, BPMN offers the language element "Gateway" symbolized by a hash:

If the rhombus is selected as the target object when creating a new connection starting from a process step, a gateway is created.

Starting from this gateway, several connections to different target process steps can be created.

By clicking on these connections, they can be named by subject.

If a user later completes a process step that leads to a gateway, he is offered the names of the output paths for selection, i.e. the user can determine which process path is run through.
