TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Work from the top of the page to the bottom. Use decision blocks (two
outputs), where one output is YES and the other is NO. Inside the
decision block you'd ask the question so you get a yes or no answer.
For instance, is the light RED? Yes, then add the subsequent process
blocks. You have to add another decision block for your second "Ifs".
By the way, what is that?
If you could be more specific, I think you'd get several good answers
as how to proceed.
Untangling the crossed lines can usually be solved by asking the
question differently i the decision block, and/or routing the YES or
NO answer to the right, or to the bottom.
Maybe you could scratch this on a piece of paper and post it somehow.
