Convey Information on a Flow
When you create an Information Flow connector between two elements, Enterprise Architect automatically prompts you to specify which Information Items or classifiers are conveyed on this flow. If you do not realize the Information Flow with its existing information items immediately, you can change and/or add to the information items conveyed at a later time. The menu path helps you to return to an incomplete Information Flow, but the process steps apply to both new and unfinished flows.
