When using a Decision Shape, which documents are processed first?

The process that occurs within a Decision Shape prioritizes the evaluation of documents based on the criteria defined in the Decision Shape itself. In this context, true documents are those that meet the conditions specified in the Decision Shape. When a process flow reaches a Decision Shape, it evaluates each document sequentially to determine which documents meet the set criteria.

True documents are processed first because they are the ones that satisfy the conditions intended by the developer, allowing them to proceed along the path designated for true evaluations. This is crucial in ensuring that the workflow branches correctly, facilitating the correct execution of the next steps in the process.

In contrast, false documents, documents with errors, and simultaneous document processing do not determine the flow as effectively as true documents do. False documents do not meet the criteria and will consequently follow a different path. Documents with errors will typically require error handling or correction before moving forward, making them lower priority in the evaluation sequence compared to true documents. As for the notion of simultaneous processing, while multiple documents might be evaluated at once in larger workflows, the flow will still prioritize the true documents for the next steps.
