Building Process Flow Diagrams

Using the Node Pop-up Menu

To open a node pop-up menu, right-click on a node icon in the Diagram Workspace. The node pop-up menu contains the following items:

Open -- opens the node.
Run -- runs both the selected node and all predecessor nodes in the process flow diagram that have not been run.
Results -- opens the node Results Browser for those nodes that generate results. You must run the node before you can open the Results Browser.
Copy -- copies the node to the paste buffer.

Note: To paste the node onto the Diagram Workspace, use the Edit pull-down menu to select the Paste menu item.
Delete -- deletes the node.
Clone -- clones a node.
About -- displays node properties in the About window.
Connect items -- a mode of editing in which node icons are fixed in location so that it is easier to connect nodes.
Move items -- a mode of editing in which node icons cannot be connected so that it is easier to move nodes.
Move and connect -- the default mode of editing in which node icons can be moved and connected.
