| EDIT FLOW RUN FLOWS FOR LIST | Allows user to pick or create a Flow for the items in the list | --- |
| Run Behavior | Allows the user to specify the Flow Run Behavior | --- |
|  | Synchronous | Runs in real-time on the current Flow or Thread. Similar to how in-session forms display to the current user immediately | --- |
|  | ThreadJob | Runs in a synchronous fashion, but uses multiple threads on the machine to execute faster | --- |

|  |  | Thread Count | The number used to dictate the number of Execution Threads | --- |
|  | WorkQueue | Runs Flow across multiple queues, splitting the load | --- |
|  | ThreadJobAsync | Runs the Flow Async and doesn't wait for any return data | --- |
|  | AsyncAndWait | Runs the processes and pauses the parent Flow until the step has finished executing all of the items in a list | --- |
|  | SystemThreads | Runs the process through Threads that are outside of the Thread Job Queue. The work will be split evenly across all thread | --- |
| Expose All Flow Data | Passes the Flow Data to the parent Flow | --- |
