Define Process Completion and Termination

Determine how the dynamic process completes or terminates by specifying an Auto Complete marker, defining a termination condition, or editing its input and output.

Let us explore the ways to complete or terminate a dynamic process.

Enable the Auto Complete Marker

In the Properties pane, you can specify if you want the process to complete automatically by selecting the Auto Complete marker. Click Properties to open the Properties pane. Select the check box next to the Auto Complete marker to enable it. An Auto Complete decorator appears for the process above the dynamic process editor.

When you enable the marker without conditions, it applies to the process by default. You can also enable the marker based on data conditions defined using process variables.

Marker	Description
Auto Complete	If the Auto Complete marker is enabled, a process is automatically marked Complete if none of the plan items (stages or activities) within it are in the Active state and all required plan items are Completed, Terminated, or Disabled. If this marker is disabled, a process is marked Complete only if all plan items are Completed, Terminated, or Disabled. Note that when this marker is disabled, you can also manually complete a process if none of the plan items is in the Active state, and all required plan items are Completed, Terminated, or Disabled.
