Unable to add a Flow Line to an activity

  • 1.  Unable to add a Flow Line to an activity

    Hello!
    I am defining a process using BWL (I have very little experience with modelling and BWL).
    I want to add a flow line to a given activity (by dragging the "flow line" icon from point 1 to point 2).
    However, it seems the ability to add flow lines is disabled.
    I learnt from this YouTube video that this is possible. How come I cannot use it?

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    (P.S. I have also attached the file with the image)

    Thanks,

    Hi Vicky,   

    I think it might be how you are clicking/dragging from the diagram that you've shared. 

    Can you try this?  Click on the flow icon to activate it (blue arrow).   Then click on the first activity (2)  you want the new flow line to come from (maybe Generates Automation....) and then drag to the next activity (or event/gateway/item) you want the flow line to end upon.  The item will highlight with an orange outline and then you can  let go of the flow. This will draw a new line between two items on the screen. 

    Let us know if that sequence isn't working.
