many instances are allowed to follow each optional path
What are the types of gateway nodes? - CORRECT ANSWER - 1) XOR
2) OR
3) COMPLEX
4) AND
What is an AND gateway? - CORRECT ANSWER - directs all incoming workflows to all
possible branches
-if more than one incoming path is used, all incoming paths must reach node before the process
can continue
-can be used to join incoming paths into single workflow or diverge paths
What's the other names for AND gateway? - CORRECT ANSWER - Parallel fork/Join
What is an XOR gateway? - CORRECT ANSWER - type of node that allows one
incoming path to continue, while excluding any others

(Exclusive OR)
,What is an OR gateway? - CORRECT ANSWER - type of gateway node directing
incoming flows to one of many possible output paths based on condition u set
-*multiple* conditions can be true
can have multiple incoming and outgoing paths
Other names for OR gateway - CORRECT ANSWER - Inclusive Decision/Merge
What is an COMPLEX gateway? - CORRECT ANSWER - -gateway allowing u to
selectively accept (or restrict) incoming paths & eval rules to determine outgoing paths
-can restrict number of incoming paths it takes and number of outgoing paths it produces (can
behave like an AND, XOR, and OR)
Other names for COMPLEX - CORRECT ANSWER - Complex Decision/Merge
True or False?
Complex node gets executed regardless of whether or not the preceding paths feed into it or not -
CORRECT ANSWER - True

UI > Create Expression Rule > Create Report from UI > Add to Site
Creating a Process Report - CORRECT ANSWER - Name > Description > Report Type:
1) PM 2) Process (instances) 3) Task (from UIT) > Report Type Choice: Task > Context Type:
auto-displays depending on the type selected > Select "Tasks by PM" > Save In: a Document
Folder (Create one if there isn't one already) >Store doc in doc Parent Folder > CREATE

name at the top) > add PM > report will be populated with active instances > only want to see
active tasks, so go to filters > filter by "active"
