Important: If the node type is a connector, you must append the word 'Connector' as suffix to the node name. The valid names for connectors are: Forward Connector, Reverse Connector, Loop Connector, Success Connector, Failure Connector, and so on. When a node type is specified as connector, TAB allows you to specify a color for the connector. The connector color helps you differentiate between operations in an application.
Note: TAB supports image files only in GIF format or JPEG format. Therefore, your custom images should be in either of these formats.
