Sequence

The Sequence container is displayed in Process Developer Classic layout style. If the BPMN style is in effect, there is no Sequence container in the palette. Every activity is contained within a hidden sequence to simplify designing on the canvas.

A Sequence container arranges and executes activities in an ordered list. This means that the first activity in a sequence executes, and when it is finished, the second activity begins.

To build a Sequence:

Ensure that the layout style preference is set to Process Developer Classic.

1. From the Container palette, drag a Sequence activity to the Process Editor canvas.
2. Drag other activities into the sequence, organizing them from top to bottom or left to right.

Tip: You can select activities on the Process Editor canvas and then right-mouse click to select Create Container > Sequence.

3. Set the properties for each activity in the sequence.
