When the end node becomes pending, the default state is used for the activity if no origin-specific state is defined.
Dependents
- Is dependent
-
Select this check box for the activities on which the current End node will depend for completion.
- Only when active
-
If selected, uses the dependent only when the path is active.
Once the dependent is set, the process does not complete unless the dependent activity is completed. See the example.
See the Loan Approval process map.
| 1 | Form Received and Send Rejection letter activities are possible dependents for the End node. |
| 2 | Forms Received is the activity on which the End node depends. |
The Loan Approval process is only completed once the Form Received activity is complete. See Add dependents to an activity for more information.
