- The Request element is the first node (aka Start Node) in the workflow's route path. This is where the Request Firewall Change form is first created.
- Each violet element represents a subsequent node in the route path. Each node represents a point in the business process where a responsible party is viewing (and possibly editing) the Request Firewall Change form. When it makes sense, we try to name each node after a corresponding action or subprocess in our business process diagram.
- Each lavender quadrilateral parallelogram represents a rule template that is applied to each node.
- Each blue diamond represents a routing decision made by the workflow engine based on rules associated with the applied rule template. This does not necessarily correspond to a decision in our business process.
- The Finish element means the workflow has ended without any disapprovals.
- We don't need to represent decisions for approval in the diagram, because at any point in the workflow where a disapproval action is taken, the entire workflow is stopped (i.e. the workflow can't progress after any disapproval).
