Dependents
Dependents are nodes (activities and decisions) on which an activity depends for completion. A node may have multiple paths (parallel paths) flowing from, resulting in more than one activity becoming pending when the originating node has completed.
Set dependents if parallel nodes, such as activities must complete
before the current activity can become pending. See the following example of
the Loan Approval process.
1 | Post Form and Email Form activities are the possible dependents. |
2 | Forms Received is the activity for which dependents are set. |
You cannot set dependents if there is only one path going into the
activity and decision.
