Link Intermediate Throw Event
A Link Intermediate Throw Event serves as an off-page connector that sends flow to a matching Link Catch Event. It enables diagram navigation by providing a "Go To" source point.
What is a Link Intermediate Throw Event?
A Link Intermediate Throw Event acts as a "Go To" source in process diagrams. It connects to a corresponding Link Catch Event, allowing flow to "jump" to the target without drawing long connecting lines.
Visual Representation
The event displays as a double-line circle containing a filled right-pointing arrow. The filled arrow indicates throwing direction-flow will jump from this point to the matching catch.
Key Characteristics
- Visual convenience: Improves diagram readability for complex flows
- Must have matching catch: Requires a Link Catch Event with same name
- Same process boundary: Cannot link across pools or processes
- No runtime impact: Behaves identically to direct sequence flow at execution
Common Use Cases
Page Navigation
Jump flow to the continuation on the next page of a printed process document.
Loop Simplification
Instead of drawing a long arrow back, link to an earlier process convergence point.
Clean Branching
Multiple branches can link-throw to the same catch point without spaghetti lines.
