Overview: Creates parallel execution paths.
Allowed inputs: many
Allowed outputs: many
Description:
The fork object is used to create parallel execution paths. When a diagram of a workflow instance is started, there is a single execution path (started by the Start block). If the execution reaches a fork block, the flow is split in several parallel paths (depending on the number of outputs in the fork) the execute simultaneously.
At the end, all execution paths must finish at the same join object, otherwise the diagram is incorrect. Once all parellel execution paths finish, the main execution path starts again, from the join object.
