Branching Field
Each sequence level has two-way branching. If the first resource term is
found, the branch is to the next sequence level. If the first resource term is
not found, the analyzer evaluates the "Else on" secondary branching term.
If the "Else on" term is found, the secondary branch taken is to the
designated sequence level in the Branching field. If the "Else on" term is not
found, the analyzer continues to loop within the sequence level until one of
the two branches is found. If the "Else on" branch is taken, the occurrence
counter is reset even if the "go to level" branch is to the same level.
If both terms are found at the same time, the branch is to the next sequence
level after the required number of first term occurrences.
Branching across trigger levels is possible. If this occurs, the sequence level
evaluation could loop without ever seeing a trigger term. Take care in
designing your flowchart and constructing the sequence instructions to avoid
this possibility.
To set a sequence level branch, select the Branching field, then select a
destination sequence level number.
