A flow represents the connection between an activity and its subsequent activities. Flows are used to establish the sequence in which defined activities are executed.
“Sequence flows are used to show the order in which activities are carried out within a process” .[Workflow Management Coalition]
Normal flow
A flow can determine a required path, that is, the process has no option not to execute it nor an optional path, in which case, the subsequent activity may or may not be executed.
Default Flow
Exclusive and inclusive gateways must have a defined predetermined flow so that the process can execute its path in case none of the conditions of the mentioned gateway outflows is met.
