Adding a Fork/Join (Parallel)

Last modified on May 4th, 2022.


A 'Fork/Join (Parallel)' construct can be added to an 'Activity Diagram' via drag-and-drop.

  1. Within an 'Activity Diagram,' click the 'Fork/Join (Parallel)' icon in the 'New' tab of the left sidebar and continue to hold down the left mouse button.
  2. Drag the 'Fork/Join (Parallel)' icon over to the arrow line between the Start and End nodes.
  3. When the line between the Start and End nodes highlights green and the green '+' appears, release the left mouse button to drop the new 'Fork/Join (Parallel)' and add it to the diagram.
  4. Notice the 'Fork/Join (Parallel)' does not stay selected once it has been dropped. You can now begin to add other diagram constructs to the new control flow paths.
  5. Click the 'Save' button located on the toolbar to persist your changes to your project's database.

* Note: For more information on this construct and how it is represented in the database model, see Activity Diagram Constructs.
