The task ordering process in the documentation follows a structured logic based on specific rules.
- Identifying the main flow: The system first detects the main flow, which represents the complete path from the start to the end of the process. If the process is sequential, tasks are arranged in their natural order.
- Handling decision points: When decision points (gateways) exist, the chosen flow always prioritizes the leftmost element in the diagram. To ensure this order, elements can be repositioned by moving those that should be prioritized to the left.
- Mapping alternative paths: Once the main flow is defined, the system revisits decision points to identify and organize alternative paths. If multiple options exist, the same leftmost rule applies.
- Identifying disconnected flows: After mapping the main and alternative paths, the system detects independent tasks that are not directly part of the main flow. These tasks are then processed and organized separately.
- Documenting other diagram elements: If the diagram includes additional lanes or pools, they are documented using the same methodology to ensure a complete and consistent representation of all elements.
