Designing a Route

You draw the route for documents to follow, like a flow chart. Boxes represent each step, and arrows show the direction of flow.

The four things to know about drawing a route are:

1. The route can begin with only one step. In other words, it must have a single entry point.

2. The route can end with only one step. In other words, it must have a single exit point.

3. Draw the flow of the route from the top down rather than from left to right.

4. If a user has a choice between two route steps, the route step that you draw higher in the designer is the one that the user sees as the first choice.

This section shows you how to create the steps of a document by following these steps:

1. Creating a Route

2. Adding Steps to a Route
