<sidebar>Sidebar: Icon Properties</sidebar> Connection icons are used to link from one part of a flowchart to another. Using this icon is more difficult to debug, and most well written programs will usually not need to use this icon.
When the flowchart reaches the jump point it jumps to the matching connection point and then continues execution.
Connection icons are used in pairs, part one is the connection point - the point in the flowchart to jump to. Part two is the jump point - the point in the flowchart to jump from. Both parts share a connection letter - in this case 'A'. Several jump points can reference one connection point.
Part one: the connection point
|
→ | 
|
→ | 
|
Display Name
The name of the icon that appears on the flowchart.
Label
The text that will be displayed on the connection point allowing for meaningful labels to be created.
Part two: the jump point
|
→ | 
|
→ | 
|
Display Name
The name of the icon that appears on the flowchart.
Jump to Connection Point
Select the connection point definition that you wish to jump to. This option is not available if the icon is the definition of the connection point rather than a jump.
Video instructions
See the Goto video to learn how Connection Points work and how to create a conditional loop using the Connection Point and (Goto) Connection Point icons.
