Outlets

What is an outlet?

With outlets, you can define connections between your modules. You can have none, one, or multiple outlets. However, it is important to note that having more than 3 outlets will make your Flow Map a complex visualization that is difficult to understand.

Status

You can also assign a status to each outlet to highlight specific connections for the operators' attention.
