Hi All,

What is the difference between connect step and connector step in a workflow?

Thanks

Hi Narendra,

Connect: Connects the two steps. These two steps are on the same page of MS visio.

Connector: Connects the two steps of WF if these two steps are on different pages of MS visio, as in case of a huge WF design you can use multiple pages of visio. This is why we have only one point of connection at this icon. It automatically connects the step connected to it to the first step on the next page.

Hope this is clear.

Regards,

Dheeraj.

Hi Narendra,

Both Connect and Connector steps provides the same functionality i.e. to connect two steps. The only difference is with the connector you need to manually connect the two steps and using connet step you need to pass the next step to be connected.

Connect step helps to simplified the workflow design in case of complex workflows for proper understanding of the flow.

Hi,

Thanks for replies.

So, connector is for connect 2 steps which are on the same page and connect is for

connect steps which are on the different pages.

Correct me if i am wrong.
