Enter the maximum number of workflows you want to be able to run concurrently.

If Max Simultaneous Running Workflows is set to a value larger than 1, enter the delay (in seconds) of the execution start for each of the workflows that may run simultaneously.

Select this check box if you want to allow members in scheduled workflow groups to execute on schedule even though all workflow members in the group have not finished execution.

This may be useful in case one member is delayed for some reason. In that case remaining workflow members will not be prevented from executing on schedule. 

This option activates the default behavior on member abort, which means that the workflow group will run until all its members are fully executed and/or all are aborted.

Select this check box to enable the workflow group execution settings.

A workflow executes on an EC group. You can specify these EC groups, or the  system system can select them automatically. 

The Distribution rules are applied to all included group members, such as workflows and workflow group configurations. When there are conflicting settings, the members that are lowest in the workflow group hierarchy have precedence.

When the Distribution rules of the workflow group configurations are set on the same level in the hierarchy, they do not conflict with each other.

The following options exist:

Sequential - Starts the workflow on the first EC group in the list. If this EC group is not available, it proceeds with the next in line.

Workflow Count - Starts the workflow on the EC group running the fewest number of workflows. If the Execution Contexts list contains at least one entry, only this/these EC groups will be considered.

Machine Load - Starts the workflow on the EC group with the lowest machine load. If the Execution Contexts list contains at least one entry, only this/these EC groups will be considered. Which EC group to select is based on information from the System Statistics sub-system.

Round Robin - Starts the workflow on the available EC groups in turn, but not necessarily in a sequential order. If ecg1, ecg2 and ecg3 are defined, the workflow may first attempt to start on ecg2. The next time it may start on ecg3 and then finally on ecg1. This order is then repeated. If an EC group is not available, the workflow will be started on any other available EC groups.

Use this table to plan timed triggers that will execute your Workflow group. Note that you can define a list of various plans. will pick The system picks the plan that meets the top priority according to the section below, Day Plans Priority Rule.
