The Branching describes This element describes the branching in a workflow from a source (start) structural element to two 2 or more target structural elements.
When source and target are the same structural element, this represents a loop or repetition of the structural element. As such, the Branching element must also be used to represent "repeat until" activities, over a Transition element.
The conditions for following one 1 branch or several of them are defined at by the level of the TargetTransition and DefaultTransition elements.

The example demonstrates the case that a subject can, after visit 1, take physiotherapy, underwater therapy, or both in parallel. This is then followed by visit 2, which is an evaluation visit.

The Type attribute defines whether only one branch of the branching ("Exclusive") can be followed, or that all branches of the branching can be followed in parallel ("Parallel"). In the case of "Exclusive", the conditions must be tested in the order that the TargetTransition elements are provided.The DefaultTransition will be followed when none of the TargetTransitions can be executed due to not fulfilling their associated conditions.
