Design Batch Dialogs

The design of batch dialogs is also accomplished using the Dialog Flow Diagram. However, a number of features available for online dialog design are not applicable in a batch dialog, so the options available are more limited.

Batch procedures on the Dialog Flow Diagram are annotated BATCH beneath the procedure's label as shown in the following illustration.

Otherwise, the diagramming symbols for batch procedures are the same as those for online procedures. For more information, see Dialog Flow Diagramming Conventions.
