A sequencer allows you to synchronize the control flow of multiple activities in a job sequence. It can have multiple input triggers as well as multiple output triggers.The sequencer operates in two modes:ALL mode. In this mode all of the inputs to the sequencer must be TRUE for any of the sequencer outputs to fire.ANY mode. In this mode, output triggers can be fired if any of the sequencer inputs are TRUE

As the name suggests, it is basically to execute the jobs in sequence.

For example, if you have 5 jobs which hare interdependent , then you would call them from a sequencer.

the execution of  2nd job will be dependent and will be triggered only after execution of the 1st job.

Sequencer Activity Stage is stage that is used to control and coordinate the flow of execution in a Job Sequence.
It can accept multiple input triggers and multiple output trigger.

It has two modes of operation - ALL and ANY.

ALL - All the input triggers must be TRUE to trigger any activity down the Sequencer.
ANY - One among the input triggers needs to be TRUE to trigger activities down the Sequencer.

@Rohit: Yes you can run the 2nd job even if the first one fails. For that you need to set the trigger option to unconditional. However, the control comes to the 2nd job only after the 1st job has run (pass or fail).

As previous posts already pointed out, there are only two modes: All or Any. All means all incoming triggers must be true and Any means at least one needs to be true. However, in case, if you want to execute next job even though all the incoming triggers are False, then Seqencer is NOT the solution.
