Settings - Decisions
This screen allows you to set properties specific to Decision symbols.

Branch Label Options
Decisions are the diamond-shaped symbols used to indicate branches in the process, and the branches usually have labels next to the connectors to indicate the path differences.
| • | Options for Adding Branch Labels |
- Automatically add branch labels: Branch labels are added to Decision symbols without prompting.
- Prompt for branch labels: Every time a Decision symbol is generated, you will be prompted for the branch labels.
- Don't add branch labels: No branch labels will be added.
| • | Group branch labels with Decision shape: Grouping the labels with the Decision will treat them as a single drawing object. If you need to move them, this will make it easier to do so. However, grouping causes some undesirable effects as well. The grouped shapes don't align to grid as easily, and the shapes need to be ungrouped before you can properly route flow lines to or from them. |
Branch Label Position
| • | Branch label position: You can choose to have the branch labels centered over the flow line, or offset to the side. |
| • | Transparent background: In case the label edges overlap the connectors, a transparent label background lets the connector line remain visible. |
Branch Label Text
| • | Branches often have labeled flow line connectors coming out of them - one for each possible decisions. It is considered good flowcharting style to keep the directions consistent, e.g. "Yes" always going down and "No" always going to the right. |
| • | Label text: The top, right, bottom, and left branch label entries are the default labels to add to their respective sides. If you choose the "Automatically add branch labels" option above, these labels will be added. If you choose the "Prompt for branch labels" option above, these values will be pre-filled on the prompt window. If the text box for a side is empty, no label will be added. |
Branch Formatting
| • | Create a Decision symbol if text has a question mark (?): If an entry contains a question mark, checking this option will make FlowBreeze create a Decision symbol. |
| • | Use same font for branch labels as flowchart symbols: If unchecked, you can set a different font and color for branch labels. |
