Control Flow Module

The Control Flow activities module provides activities for controlling flow of execution within your project.

Control Flow Activities

Note that while activities such as the Parallel and schedule multiple child activities for execution simultaneously, only a single thread is used for a workflow. Each child activity of these activities executes sequentially and successive activities do not execute until previous activities either complete or go idle. As a result, these activities are most useful for applications in which several potentially blocking activities must execute in an interleaved fashion. If none of the child activities of these activities go idle, a Parallel activity executes just like a Sequence activity.
