It's a job property, I believe. Click on the bright yellow icon with little black squares in it, and 'Allow Multiple Instances' should be an checkbox on the popup Job Properties dialogue box.

Multi-instance is relevant only to server jobs.
Parallel jobs' multiple instancing is automatic based directly on the configuration file (and the processing resources specified therein).

Actually, once I tried to run the same PX job twice from one sequencer, and it just wouldn't work. I had to click on the 'Allow multiple instances' checkbox to run the many instances of the same PX job from one sequencer in 6x. This might have changed for 7x.

In a server job open the Job Properties window. You can do this in Designer or Manager. On the General tab is a check box labelled Allow Multiple Instance. Check this, then the invocation ID expression will become enabled for that job once it has been re-compiled.
