Procedure
13 Using auto-connect and adding transport
You now have a plan for the paper clip life cycle that contains the paper clip bending
process and steel wire process.
13.01 Showing tracked flows
You should notice red spots in the top left and right corners of some of your process
boxes. If you can already see the red dots on the process box for the unconnected inputs
of the process, just continue.
If you cannot see these,
50. Click ‘View’ in the menu bar and select ‘Show tracked in/outputs.’
These dots indicate the number of tracked input and output flows and whether or not they
have been linked. In this case you have not yet linked any of the processes and so all the
tracked flows are displayed as red dots.
You will notice that there are two red dots indicating two not yet connected inputs to the
paper clip bending process. You know that one of these is electricity and one steel wire.
The steel wire process is already included on the plan so you need to add the electricity
process.
13.02 Adding a process to a plan
51. Click on the ‘Search’ button
52. Enter ‘Electricity.’
A list of potential matches is displayed and you can select the appropriate electricity grid
mix for your country.
53. Choose ‘DE’ for Germany.
Red dot –Tracked Flow, not yet connected
Black dot –Tracked Flow, connected
54. To add this process to your plan simply drag and drop it onto the plan.
