Parallel
Activities that enclose sets of serial activities. Each set can run independently
of the other. For example, when adding connection activities, add them
inside a parallel activity. That way, if one connection fails, others can still
execute.
Prompt User
Specifies a Yes/No dialog box to display at this point in the run-time
workflow. For example, you can create a prompt whose title bar reads
“Warning,” and contains the text: “The workflow will now convert your
SHP files to SDF format. Continue?”
Sequence
Activities that enclose sets of activities. Each set is performed in sequence,
and if one activity in the sequence fails, the others cannot execute. For
example, if a connection fails, a subsequent layer-creation activity that
requires that connection cannot execute.
While
(Beta) Executes a statement or a block of statements until a specified
expression evaluates to false. Do not use this option unless you have

parameters for this activity, click
in the Workflow Designer toolbar. In
the Properties palette that displays, click the cell for the parameter to set.
Click the browse button that appears to select parameters from a list, if
