# Connectors

Open [Step Settings](/processes/process-steps/process-step-settings.md) and expand the **Connectors** section (1). Lists of incoming (2) and outgoing (3) connectors will be shown there:

![](/files/c28652b6cc533a3517bf9706598715b5bb32ab11)

Connectors are represented as links here. If you click any link, the corresponding [connector](/processes/connectors/connectors-overview.md) will become selected in the process diagram.

Connectors can be deleted from this list by clicking buttons (4). This will show a confirmation and delete the corresponding connector from the process.

If there are several outgoing connectors on the step, they will be arranged in the chronological order in which they were added. This order can be changed by moving connectors with arrow buttons (5). This order is necessary for the system to determine which connector the process should follow.

The system will evaluate the conditions on the connectors in the sequence of their precedence. The first connector that meets the criteria is the path that will be taken.

You need one connector with no conditions assigned to it. This will be the default connector. The system will first evaluate the connectors with conditions, in the specified order. If none of the conditions are true, the default connector will be selected.

{% hint style="info" %}
The system will warn you if you try to save a step with more than one default connector, but you will still be able to save the process. If any step has more than one default connector, the first one in connector order will be the path for further process flow.
{% endhint %}

If you want all or some paths to be taken instead of just one, check the **Start Parallel Branch** option in the necessary connector properties.

Connectors can also be managed in [List mode](/processes/building-a-process/list-view.md) of the steps tree, or in Process mode if you scroll the right sidebar to see the **Predecessors** column.

Each step, except Start, has at least one incoming connector that links to a preceding step called a Predecessor. These Predecessors, except Start steps, are listed in the corresponding column of the Steps Tree (6) as indexes (numbers):

![](/files/46e39095355bbc1b81980c219cf0b8ebfb2c4802)

If you click any step Predecessors column cell, the corresponding popup will appear (7):

![](/files/f0ddc479d8ae9d9ddae7c6dec47f3d0246982ed2)

All steps are listed. Steps that are predecessors of the currently selected step are checked (8). If you check a new step and save, a new [connector](/processes/connectors/connectors-overview.md) from this predecessor to the current step will appear.

The connector type will be [default](/processes/connectors/connectors-overview.md#connector-types-and-branches) without conditions. Only if the predecessor belongs to another [branch](/processes/connectors/branches.md) will the connector become a [constraint](/processes/connectors/connectors-overview.md).

If you uncheck checkboxes, connectors from the corresponding steps will be deleted.
