How search works:
  • Punctuation and capital letters are ignored
  • Special characters like underscores (_) are removed
  • Known synonyms are applied
  • The most relevant topics (based on weighting and matching to search terms) are listed first in search results
Topics are ranked in search results by how closely they match your search terms
  • A match on the entire phrase you typed
  • A match on part of the phrase you typed
  • A match on ALL of the terms in the phrase you typed
  • A match on ANY of the terms in the phrase you typed

Note: Matches in titles are always highly ranked.

    Do the following in parallel flow logic

    Run actions and subflows in separate paths within an isolated flow logic block.

    With this flow logic, you can run actions and subflows in separate paths. If any action within the Do the following in parallel flow logic block must wait, other actions run until all paths within the block finish processing.

    Figure 1. Paths in a Do the following in parallel flow logic block
    Multiple paths in a Do the following in parallel flow logic block
    Note: Paths in a Do the following in parallel flow logic block do not run in multiple threads, since a flow execution context runs in a single thread.However, there may be times when you want to run flows within separate contexts even though this may consume more of your instance's resources. To run subflows in separate flow contexts within the same flow, see Dynamic flows.

    Inputs

    Do the following in parallel flow logic does not have field inputs. Instead, it displays a plus (New Branch Icon) icon that enables you to create a path with actions or subflows.

    The actions and subflows in each path run until all tasks within the flow logic block have completed.

    Outputs

    This flow logic has no outputs, but actions and subflows in each path may have outputs. While the flow is running, outputs from a path are only accessible to other actions in the same path. After the Do the following in parallel flow logic completes, its final outputs are accessible to the rest of the flow.

    Example: Create two tasks in parallel when a change request is created

    In this example, a flow triggers when a new change request is created. Using Do the following in Parallel, two tasks are created in separate paths and are assigned to different groups. The flow uses the Number field data pill from the triggering change request to display the number in the short description for the task record.
