3.6.2 How to use Process Nodes
You can create an Operational Flow by arranging Process Nodes in the working sequence and connecting them by relation lines. In most cases, character strings are displayed on Process Nodes. However, images can also be displayed.
-
Displaying character strings
To make an easy-to-understand flow, you can use character strings that simply describe operations, such as Check Registration Contents, or Get Trace Files.
-
Displaying images
The default Process Node is a simple white rectangle. Therefore, if you want to use colored rectangles or display illustrations, you need to use images. You can efficiently discriminate important or irregular tasks from other tasks by displaying images on Process Nodes.

If you want to display a character string in addition to an image on a Process Node, place an image containing a character string or use the static-text part when placing the Process Node.

To use the reporting window to check analysis information regarding usage, make sure that the Process Nodes are placed frontmost. In the reporting window, analysis results are displayed as characters on the same layer as the Process Nodes. If any part is displayed in front of Process Nodes, some characters might be displayed behind the part, and therefore hard to read. For details about the reporting window, see 6.9 How to analyze the usage of Operational Content.
