This documentation refers to the new process editor of the platform. If you are using the current process editor, access Configure activities and flows. 



Speaking of Join component...

The Join component indicates the end of parallelism in the process flow, that is, the end of parallel stages (activities or flows), returning to the main and single flow.

This component must necessarily be used at the end of activities and parallel flows initiated by a Parallel component.

When there are still pending parallel stages, the request remains positioned at the Join component of the process until all of them are completed. When all parallel stages (activities or flows) are completed, the request is automatically sent to the next stage.

If the Join component is related to a stage that does not have a defined assignment mechanism, the request is sent to the first person found in the list of people with active registration on the platform in alphabetical order, even if that person has no participation or involvement in the process in question.


The platform has the following registered and active people in the Users resource of the Control Panel1:

  • Angelina Reek
  • Alonso Cunha
  • Francisco Vieira
  • Poliana Santana
  • Adelina da Costa

In this case, the request will be automatically sent to Adelina da Costa, even though she was the last person to be registered on the platform, since if the list of people is arranged in alphabetical order, her name will be the first on the list.

1 → The names listed in this example are fictitious and merely illustrative.


In an event organization process such as a conference, where the stages Define location, Define speakers, and Plan logistics – such as catering, audio and video equipment, and other necessary resources – were executed simultaneously, it is necessary to use the Join component to indicate the end of the stages executed in parallel, causing the process to return to the main flow and proceed to the next stage.


Configuring the Join component

01. In the process diagram, click on the Join component  you want to configure.

02. Define a title or name for the component that represents the end of the parallel steps in the process flow.

The name can also be changed directly on the component by clicking on its current name and then on Edit – located on the right side.


In a software development process, where the Back-end and Front-end steps were executed simultaneously, the component could be named Coding completed, indicating the end of the code development steps that were executed in parallel.


03. Click on Save draft – located on the right side of the top bar – to save the settings made on the Join component.

04. In the message displayed, click on Ok, I understand.
