Concurrent Activities

[DougA]

I'm in the process of converting our written procedures into Hornbill. Most of them are a single activity which is working well for us. However, I'm now into the more complex procedures where multiple activities are required, assigned to different teams but occur concurrently.

Unless I'm very much mistaken activities are sequential. I did try putting the activities into a parallel process but I was getting a rather complex error when completing an activity

Here is the error message returned for this workflow: 
decision ("585d6fbe-21a1-8429-7be9-b722f46e52bd"/"decision-5d2fa708-96cd-4598-cd5d-7c68c0e563c2") execute: at 1/497: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'tasks' of undefined"

 return [(outcome== "Cancelled") == true,(true) == true]; })()

Is there a way to accomplish parallel activities?

Thanks

Asssuming pcf = Progressive Capture Form (or Flow) this looks like you're trying to make a decision on a question that hasn't been answered.

That's exactly what was wrong. Thanks for the tip although I still can't figure out what the error meant!

Much appreciated

Doug
