Parameter	Type	Description
Schedule ✱	string	The schedule whose thread is to be started.
Execution Mode	ScheduleExecutionMode	Whether this step waits for the thread it starts. Fork starts it and carries straight on; Do Not Fork holds this step open until it finishes.
Parameter Values	RunParameterValueCollection	Values passed into the started schedule's parameters.
Passed Objects	List<PassedObject>	Labware handed to the started thread, and the name each one takes there.
Instance Name ✱	string	Names this instance so that other steps can refer to it. Two steps sharing an instance name refer to the same schedule thread, which is how a join or a merge finds the thread it is waiting on.
Notes	string	Free-text note kept with this step. It appears on the step in the schedule editor and in the event log, and has no effect on what the step does. Use it to record why the step is here.
Enabled	bool	Whether this step runs. Clearing it leaves the step in the schedule, in place and still configured, but skips it at run time.
