Setting On Revisit to Ignore is useful for implementing activities that should only run once, even though they can be transitioned to from multiple sources. For example, this mode allows you to implement a "logical OR"-type of activity which is transitioned to multiple times, but completes after the first transition only.
Setting On Revisit to Reset for an activity is useful when you want to reexecute activities in a loop, but you want to first reset the status of the activities in the loop. Reset causes the Workflow Engine to do the following:
If you set On Revisit to Reset for the pivot activity of a loop that includes an FYI notification activity, the Workflow Engine cancels the previous notification before reexecuting the loop and sending a new notification to the current performer of the notification activity.
Setting On Revisit to Loop for an activity is useful when you want to simply reexecute activities in a loop without resetting the status of the activities in the loop. Loop causes the Workflow Engine to reexecute the activity in "RUN" mode without executing any "CANCEL" mode logic for the activity.
If you set On Revisit to Loop for the pivot activity of a loop that includes an FYI notification activity, previous notifications remain open when the Workflow Engine reexecutes the loop and sends a new notification to the current performer of the notification activity.
