A parallel activity consists of workflow branches that run at the same time.
Follow these steps to enter a name for a parallel activity.
- Right-click the parallel activity, and then click Properties to open the Properties form.
- In the left pane, click Basic Settings.
- In the Name field, enter a unique name for the parallel activity.
- Click Close.
Follow these steps to add and configure the branches of this parallel activity.
-
Double-click the parallel activity to display the branches of the parallel activity.
-
To add a branch, drag the Branch element from the Workflow elements area to an insertion point on the canvas. The following figure shows an insertion point.
[!NOTE] The order of the branches is not important because all the branches of a parallel activity run at the same time.
-
To configure each branch, see Configure parallel branches in a workflow.
