Chained Execution- Multiple Parallel Paths in a Chaining Group
When multiple parallel paths exist in a chaining group, items will be chained in the order they are scheduled, and not the order of process flow. For example:
In the example above, User Task 1 or User Task 2 would be performed first. Both would appear in the relevant user's work list. If User Task 1 was opened first then on completion User Task 2 would be performed (it would be the only user task in the chained group available at that point). It is likely that whilst User Task 2 is completed that User Task 3 would be scheduled. This would be performed and then User Task 4 would be performed last. The user tasks would therefore be performed in scheduled order and not according to the connections between the user tasks.
