How to Specify a Stage Name and Add Parallel and Sequential Blocks

The stage is named Stage1 by default, however you can change the name.

To specify a stage name and add parallel and sequential blocks:

  1. Double-click the name. The Edit dialog box displays.
  2. In the Edit dialog box, enter the following details and click OK.

    • Stage: The name of the stage.

    • Non Repeating: Do not stage in parallel for each item in the collection.

    • Repeat Stage in parallel for each item in a collection: Choose one collection from the drop-down list to specify which collection type to use for the repeated stages.

  3. Drag and drop the type of participant from the Participant palette on the right onto the stage.
  4. Drag Stage from the Participant Palette on the right and drop it on the green dot of the existing stage.

    When you bring the new stage closer to the current stage, four green dots display around the current stage. Choose the green dot that is to right to the current stage. A second stage is added in parallel to the first stage, as shown in Figure 29-17.

  5. Drag Stage from the Participant Palette on the right and drop it on the green dot of the existing stage

    When you bring the new stage below the current stage, four green dots display around the current stage. Choose the green dot that is below the current stage.

    A sequential stage is added below the selected block.
