Choose from the alphabetic list below to learn about a method. See also Finding methods by function.

The Call,
Branch, Collect, Java, Queue, and Rule operations are technically "instructions", not methods. For information
on these instructions, see:
   BRANCH — Branching to another activity
   CALL — Calling another activity
   COLLECT — Begin execution of a collection rule
   FLOW-NEW — Start a flow execution
   JAVA — Using Java in an activity step
   QUEUE — Execute another activity asynchronously
   RULE — Using the Rule instruction to implement a custom rule type
