Description Allows branching of task execution to another task and contains several options to control this task flow during the branching process. This is useful either for organization of various automation routines or for error checking so that you can see which tasks may be failing.	Start Another Task dialog

Parameters

Task To Start
Specify the name of the task to start. (Variables are supported i.e. !!VARIABLENAME!!)

Continue on with this task immediately
When this option is checked, the execution of the current task will continue asynchronously along with the new task, which will be spawned at this point in the task. Both tasks will run in parallel.

Wait for the task to finish
When this option is checked the execution of the current task will not continue until the spawned task is complete or has failed.

Fail this task if the started task fails
This option is only available when wait for the task to finish is checked. It is useful when a task’s continued successful execution is dependent on another tasks successful completion. When this option is enabled, the current task will fail also if the spawned task has a failure during its execution.
