Add dependents

Use the following procedure to configure dependents for an activity.

  1. Select the activity for which you need to set dependents. For example, in the Loan Approval map, select the Forms Received activity.
  2. In the Activity properties panel, click the Dependents tab.

    A list of dependents appears.

  3. Select Completion required for the activity on which the current activity will be dependent for completion. For example, select the Email Form activity in the Loan Approval map.
  4. To only use the dependent when its path is active, select Only when active for that node.
  5. Click Save.

    Once the dependent is set, the current activity cannot complete unless the dependent activity is complete. For example, in the Loan Approval process, the Form Received activity cannot complete unless the Email Form is complete.
