A procedure that regulates the flow of both diverging and convergent Sequence Flows is controlled by gateways, which choose the route that is taken through it. In other words, a single Gateway may contain a number of inputs and output flows. The word "gateway" suggests the existence of a gating mechanism that either permits or prohibits passage through the Gateway; in other words, as tokens come at a Gateway, they may be combined at input and/or divided upon output as the Gateway mechanisms are used.

Types of Gates:

All Gateways are shown as diamond shapes with various icons inside to indicate the various types of Gateways.

Exclusive Gateway
Event-Based Gateway
Parallel Gateway
Inclusive Gateway
Exclusive Event-based Gateway
Complex Decision Gateway
Parallel Event-Based Gateway

Exclusive Gateway: A diverging Exclusive Gateway, also known as an XOR Gateway, is utilized to build additional pathways inside of a Process flow. One path can only be chosen for a certain instance of the Process.
