Setting task entry validation criteria

You can manage validation of task entry criteria by specifying conditions in the activity definition. The entry criteria is validated during the processing of the task.

About this task

Ideally, all tasks are run sequentially during the activity processing. But by specifying an entry validation criteria, the Sponsor can control the sequence of task processing. During the processing of the activity, the task is run only if the entry criteria validation is successful. If the task entry criteria validation fails, the processing of the activity proceeds with the next task.
