---+ Editing Decide Modules

_Decide_ modules can be added to the flowchart view via dragging and dropping (see [[EditingCreateModules][Editing Create Modules]] for a demonstration) and edited by double clicking on the module. There are 4 types of _Decide_ modules.

---++ 2-way by Chance

This type of _decide_ module will route entities one of two ways according to a given percentage. The percentage is specifed by the user and relates to the proprotion of entities that are routed to the _True_ exit point.

---++ 2-way by Condition

This type of _decide_ module will route entities one of two ways depending on the condition. There are multiple types of conditions.

---+++ Variable

Arena evaluates a variable-based expression and routes to the _True_ exit point if the expression is true or the _False_ exit point otherwise.
<h3>

Attribute
</h3>

Arena evaluates an attribute-based expression and routes to the _True_ exit point if the expression is true or the _False_ exit point otherwise.

Consider the example of simulating queuing at a supermarket. If the entity attribute _QueueNumber_ is equal to 2 then that entity will be routed to the _True_ exit point which leads to processing at _Counter 2_. <br /><img width="834" alt="Decide_Module_by_Attribute_example.png" src="%ATTACHURL%/Decide_Module_by_Attribute_example.png" height="295" />

---+++ Entity Type

Arena will route all of entites of the specifed entity type to the _True_ exit point and all other entity types to the _False_ exit point.

---+++ Expression
