Conditional sequences and Workflow performance

Workflow
Updated April 23, 2015
asked on April 23, 2015

One of our customers has a bunch of workflows that contain a series of single-branch conditional sequences, one after the other.

I'm wondering if it would be better to compile them into a single conditional decision activity with several branches, where the current vertical order of conditional sequences is transferred to the conditional decision branches from left to right. Would there be any performance difference?

If they're supposed to be mutually exclusive, then yes, you should combine them so Workflow will stop checking conditions once it found a match. Depending on the number, there may be a performance difference (basically the difference between a Conditional Parallel - all conditions checked - and a Conditional Decision - conditions checked until a match is found)

Each conditional sequence contains an End Workflow activity, so I don't think checking unnecessary conditions is an issue in this particular workflow. But I'll keep what you said in mind for future workflows (I didn't actually design this one, just took over from someone else.)

Then, yes, the performance is the same.
