What are the connecting objects in Appian?

In Appian, connecting objects are crucial for defining the sequence and flow of processes within an application. The primary connection types are sequence flows and exception flows.

Sequence flows are used to connect various flow objects in a process model, illustrating the typical path that the process will take from one activity or event to the next. This linear representation is essential for accurately capturing the workflow's progression.

Exception flows, on the other hand, are designed to manage alternative or exceptional paths that may arise due to certain triggers or events, allowing for more complex process handling. By utilizing exception flows, an application can handle unforeseen circumstances or deviations from the main workflow efficiently, ensuring greater reliability and robustness in process management.

Together, these connecting objects facilitate a comprehensive representation of both normal and exceptional process pathways, making them fundamental elements in Appian's process modeling environment.
