7. The Control flow connector is used to connect events with functions by representing causal dependencies.


8. The logical operators are used to describe logical relationships between control flows.


9. Information flows connector shows the connection between functions and input or output data.


10. Add the proper EPC elements to the diagram by dragging them from the library to the document page.
