Flow Designer wait for multiple tasks to complete - Service Catalog

Morning!

 

Looking for assistance in how to complete the following.,

Wait for multiple tasks to complete before proceeding in flow. I have 3 catalog tasks that need to generate at the same time, then the flow should not proceed until all 3 of those are complete. 

 

The wait for conditions either seems sequesntial or time based opposed to the group of tasks all being complete before proceeding to the next item. 

 

Any guidance would be greatly appriciated!

You can put steps 9 through 11 in a "do the following in parallel" then check the "Wait" on each. This should allow each one to generate and then wait for them all to close.

I would recommend doing the sequential wait for conditions checking if each task is closed. There isn't a much better way to do this. If you had to check a much larger group of tasks you could create a loop that only exits once all tasks are closed, but for 3 tasks I would not recommend doing that.

Thank you for the prompt response!

Can you elaborate on using/ implementing sequential wait conditions?

 

Thanks!

You can do a lookup on each task and then use a wait for action that waits until it's a closed state.

 

Can you provide more information about how you're generating these tasks? The "Create Task" action has a "wait" checkbox that will hold the flow until the task is closed.

I am using 'Create Catalog Task' and have the need for 9,10 and 11 to fire all at once. Then once all 3 of those have been completed, then fire 12.
