Model 8 - Link Event instead of Sequence Flows

Goals of this session

Usage of the Link Event

How-to

Sometimes more complex models require a split in the flow to gain a certain level of clearness. Modeling from left to right might result in a long model. By using the Link Event you can “push” the rest of the model to the next line. This saves the long edge that would be displayed across the whole model.

Figure 1: Model 8 - Link Events instead of Sequence Links / IYOPRO-Link

Approach

Create a sending Link Event where you want the sequence flow to be stopped
Create a receiving Link Event where you want the sequence flow to be continued
You must give both events the same name, so that they are linked to each other

(see Linking Events to each other for more information)
