Example: Manage sequential departmental reviews
After the contract is drafted, using the Fork activity create multiple independent branches for review. You assign each branch to different departments—Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Risk Management. Each department reviews the contract in a set order, one after another.
Legal reviews the contract first. Once approved, it moves to Compliance, followed by Finance, and then Risk Management. After all departments approve, the contract proceeds to final executive approval and then execution.
