Task Execution Rule
You can gate the execution of a task based on the completion status of its previous task. Click the line connecting the two tasks and select one of the following options:
On success: Runs if the previous task in the node is successful.
On failure: Runs if the previous task in the node failed.
On execution (any status): Runs the task in the node irrespective of the previous task's status (success or failure).
Parallel Tasks
You can can execute one or more tasks in parallel by clicking the plus node icon and selecting one of the following options:
Add a parallel node: Adds a parallel node to the existing node.
Add a node: Adds a node at the bottom of the existing node.
Note
Nodes added in a sequence are separated by a plus node. A node added in parallel has two plus nodes separating it from the parent node; one for adding nodes in parallel and other for adding a node in sequence.
View for Triggers
To create a trigger, you specify the time and frequency that the plan is to be executed.
Note
Plan owners can create triggers for their plans. Other users must have the appropriate privileges to create triggers for the plan.
