| Prioritise throughput over ordering | When enabled, records are processed in parallel to optimise performance. This means the order records are processed is nondeterministic. When disabled (default), records are processed in the order they are provided. |
Exclusion Group | This field is case insensitive. If this field is populated, only one Actionflow/Endpoint with this Exclusion Group can be running at any one time. Attempting to run a second Actionflow/Endpoint with the same exclusion group will return a warning and the Actionflow will not run. This applies whether the Actionflow is run manually or automatically using a schedule. Exclusion Group are evaluated before any Actionflow/Endpoints are started. If there is no Actionflow/Endpoint already running with this exclusion group then the Actionflow/Endpoint will continue. The action will be considered to be using this exclusion group from this point until the Actionflow/Endpoint has completed. |

Security
Security can be applied to Actionflows so that only those with sufficient permissions can run the Actionflow. In addition, if an Actionflow is assigned to a button and the user does not have permission to run the Actionflow, the button will not be displayed on a screen. Permissions can also be set on form fields, table attributes and screens. For example, if a user does not have permission to view the form fields but runs an Actionflow that uses these fields, the Actionflow will show an error.
