Connect Nodes in a Policy Model

Before You Begin

• Be sure that you understand the basic principles for working with a policy model.
• Add at least two nodes to the model canvas.
• Note the following limitations that apply to connections:
  • You cannot add connections in a circular path (e.g., if Node 1 is connected to Node 2, and Node 2 is connected to Node 3, you cannot connect Node 3 to Node 1).
  • You cannot connect a node to itself.
  • You cannot connect a node to same node more than once.

Steps

1. Access the policy in which you want to connect nodes.

2. In the Design workspace, on the predecessor node, point to the circular connecting point from which you want to start the connection.

   The pointer changes to .

   

   Note: The connecting points only appear when you hover over the node.

3. Select the circle, and then drag the pointer to the successor node that will serve as the end of the connection.

   A line is drawn automatically in the direction that you drag the pointer.

   

4. On the successor node, on the circular connecting point where you want to end the connection, release the pointer.

   The connection is set.

   

5. In the Policy section of the toolbar, select .

   The policy is saved.
