OR

Unites multiple activity execution paths into a single transition. This allows the next step in a workflow to execute as soon as any activity from the multiple paths is completed. Without the OR activity, if multiple workflow paths converge simultaneously, subsequent activities may be executed more than once.

• Group: Logic

• Nature: Non-Blocking

Example: Approval Workflow with OR Activity

You design a contract approval workflow with two parallel activities: Legal Review and Finance Review. The OR activity allows the workflow to move to the next step, Final Approval, as soon as either the Legal Review or Finance Review is complete. This approach speeds up the process by removing the need for both reviews to finish before proceeding.

Adding branches to the OR Activity

To link a path to the OR activity, hold the Shift key and click the plus icon at the end of the branch you want to connect to the OR activity. The icon becomes bold. Then, click the OR activity tile and confirm the connection in the pop-up.  To unlink a path from the OR activity, right-click the path you want to remove. Confirm the removal in the pop-up that appears.
