Action Buttons

2 You can choose to add new task or add existing task for this job by clicking on one of the action buttons from this screen.

Follow the Adding a Task instructions to continue.

Task Order

This column displays the task order within a job.

The numbering against each task here refers to the order in which each of the tasks were created. For example the first step you add to a job will be ‘1’, the second ‘2’, and so on.

This is also the order in which the steps will be executed when the job is run.

Follow the Modifying Task Order instructions to change the order of the task sequence.

Dependant On

The dependant on column displays any task dependencies that have been set.

Tip: You will not be able to configure a task to be dependent on another task which has a higher execution order. For example, task #3 cannot be dependant on task #4. You will need to reorder the tasks then set the dependency accordingly.

The dependency is also based on the status of the last execution of the prior task.

Loome Integrate will check the results of the last execution of these tasks and execute the dependent task if their last status was successful.
