Using the Sequence Element

Use the Sequence element to nest a series of activities into your process. The activities within a sequence will execute in strict sequential order. Process execution returns to the business process when the last activity within the nest has completed.

Usage

Drag the Sequence element from the Palette to the diagram.

Adding Child Activities to the Sequence

You can add one or more child activities to the Sequence. The Sequence element has a special user interaction style. It always shows one or more valid placeholders for the next activity that you might wish to add. To add a new child activity, drag and drop an element from the Palette onto the immediately available next or previous activity placeholder.

Changing the Order of Elements inside Sequence

To change the order of activities inside the Sequence element:

1. In the Design view, right-click the Sequence element and select Change Order.

2. Select an element and use the Move up or Move down buttons to change the position of the element inside the container.
