Creating a Parallel

The Parallel creates a fixed number of configured parallel branches. Each branch has its own Scope which in turn can contain any number of nodes. Configuring a Parallel can include the following tasks:

Adding Nodes

The Parallel is essentially a placeholder for a fixed number of processing branches, each with its own scope. Two branches are automatically generated by default. An individual scope may contain unique processing logic according to your construction; simply drag the appropriate nodes into the Scope. You may add additional branches with the Add Scope button.

Adding General Information

General information is useful for making a node more legible. It includes the ability to add a unique identifier, or Label, to the node and to supplement it with notes, or Documentation. General information is optional.

  1. To add a Label to a node, open the Properties view and enter a unique, identifying string in the Label field. The Label that you enter appears underneath the node in the Canvas area. Alternatively, you can simply double-click the string under the icon and edit.
  2. To add Documentation to a node, open the Properties view and enter any notes that you think are important in the Documentation field.
