Connector Icons
Connector icons are circular or oval graphic elements used in charts to join and divide arrows or to enable an arrow to exist on multiple pages. Their purpose is to clarify a specification by reducing the number of arrows.
Create Junction Connector - creates a junction connector which reduces the number of lengthy flow lines by connecting different elements together. These elements then form a single flow line that emanates from or enters a common box or connector. Create Composition Connector - creates a composition connector, which can only be used with a record data-item. The composition connector directs the components of a record to two different target activities. For example, a data-store called RANGE has a record type of data-item with two components called LOW_LIMIT and HIGH_LIMIT. If the flow goes out from the data-store, the composition connector splits the record into the two components.The composition connector can also go in the other direction, where multiple flow lines labelled with the record’s components enter the connector and the single flow line denoting the record flow emanates from it. Create Diagram Connector - creates a diagram connector, which connects a target and a source that are far from each other. Using this type of connector eliminates the need for long arrows.
