You can connect two independent activities that already exist within the workspace.
When you select an existing activity in the workspace, a connection point (a blue rectangle) is displayed to its right:
When you hover over the connection point, the cursor becomes a crosshair. You can drag the crosshair from the connection point; when you do so, a dashed red line indicates the availability of a candidate connection.
When you hover the crosshair over a second activity, you can then drop the crosshair to create a connection.
Creating a connection from an activity to a second or additional activity causes the creation of a workflow branch.
Note that you are not able to create a connection between the same two activities more than once.
Certain connections between activities are not permitted. If you attempt to create a connection that is not permitted, a warning message is displayed. Details of specific warning message are provided elsewhere.
