  4. Use the drop-down list to select whether the trigger condition is fulfilled on Task successful or Task failed. Click EDelete to remove a task from the trigger.

Information noteA task with trigger condition Task failed is started not only when the preceding task finishes with status Failed, but also with status Aborted, Skipped, or Error (when the error occurs before reload).

Information noteThe tasks do not need to be executed in any specific order and the Time constraint is not static. If all tasks but one have completed when the time period is reached, the task that was first completed is no longer considered executed and the end of the time period is recalculated. The trigger then waits for all tasks to be completed within the recalculated time period.
