How can I use link events (and multiple source events)?

Hi,

When a sub-process is really big (many activities and flows), it is necessary to create links between the activities. This way, the sub-process is "cleaner" (easier to follow).

But I understand that it is possible to use links only once. In other words, we can not make many links in the same sub-process (N-1 or 1-N as many out activities link in one entrance activity).

Is that right?

Thanks!

Dear Marco,

While using link type events, Bizagi will automatically configure its "linkage" (source and target), as long as both the throw event and the catch event have the same name.

This means that you could have multiple source events whose target is a

single catch event (N-1).

Notice that having 1-N would not make sense (1 source, multiple targets), because the source would not know which event to target.

Hi,

I've modeled a process in which I used Link Events, but when I right click on one throw link event, there is no "go to target" option for going to the catch link event or vice versa ("go to source" from a catch link event). I use the same name for both events (Throw and Catch ones). (Attached file: Link Events)

BTW this feature works in a new model (Attached file: Link Events (Go to Target)).

why does this happen?

Thanks

Dear Milad,

The link event has one option "Is Throw" in which you can enable or disable depending the position. In this example, the "Is Throw" is enable in order to send to the another event:

In the simulation view, you can see that it works correctly:
