About Subflow Executions

You can add a step to run a subflow.

Adding a Subflow

In a hierarchical process where an activity has a subflow of activities, the subflow can run in one of the following ways:

  • An empty activity with no steps automatically runs its subflow one time.
  • A process step (for example, DOE or Loop), also referred to as a driver step, inherently makes calls to run the subflow multiple times as part of its execution logic.
  • An explicit step can be added to the inner flow of an activity to denote that the subflow should run at that point.
    Note: Only one subflow is allowed in an activity.

The following simulation process shows the different subflows as described above:
