2.3.4 Links
The links between the blocks serve to visualize the call handling process. If connection lines already exist, all of the lines leading from a block will be highlighted (blue). If the mouse pointer touches a single line, this line will be highlighted (orange). A QuickInfo (Mouseovermenu), listing both the beginning and the destination of the line (e.g. Day of Week. Monday –> Connect), will appear. A multiple line is indicated by the format of the QuickInfo: *-><Destination>.
The following overview presents the conditions of the connection lines once again:
