Using Parallel Mode in Visio

[Melissa]

I am doing Business Processes at work, and have been asked to find out what
Parallel Mode is. I have searched for it but cannot find anything on it. Does
anyone know how to use Parallel Mode?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Parallel Mode can be used to show two or more processes that can/do
operate in paralell i.e. at the same time.
It's not a standard symbol and if you are documenting/designing
interacting processes then a different modelling method may be better.

P.S. you don't have to use all the shapes. Different modelling
processes use many different shapes so unless you are using some
particular standard use just the shapes you want to use.
