A decision is an activity at which transactions can take one of several possible paths based on decision criteria that you set.
The decision path from a decision activity is usually labeled in the process diagram in accordance with the defined decision case, such as Yes or No, True or False.

You can customize the labeling of decision paths in several ways:
Multiple decision paths for a single decision case. For example, you have two paths labeled Yes, so any transaction that satisfies the Yes decision criteria is duplicated and sent out both paths.
|
|
No required decision path. For example, if you do not have a path labeled No, any transaction that satisfies the No decision is discarded at the decision activity.
|
|
Unlabeled decision paths. The transaction is duplicated. One copy takes the unlabeled decision path, and the other takes the decision path of the decision case it satisfies.

Determine which path the transaction takes using one of these methods:
Statistical - Transactions take each decision path based on a statistical percentage, for example, 50%-Yes/True, 50%- No/False.
Expression - Transactions take each decision path based on the value of an expression.
The label for each decision path is called Case Text. For more information on defining case text, see Define Activity Outputs and Decision Output.
