VTS EA Builder Links

Links are the lines with arrows that are used to connect Elements on the VTS drawing pad.  They represent the flow of execution of the EA.

You can think of the flow of execution through the links like water flowing through a pipe, or electricity moving through a circuit.

EA builder execution always begins at the Start Element and follows the links moving in the direction of the arrows.  Execution stops when it hits an End element.

If a Logic element is reached, the EA execution follows the output of the Logic that evaluates to true.

There are two good things to know about links:

  1. You delete a link by selecting it with your mouse and then pressing the delete key on your keyboard.
  2. More than one link can be connected to most Elements. Links can be numbered to control the order that each link is followed.
