False - Specifies that the activity starts only after all of the activity's direct predecessors are Completed.All other activities process are ignored. If any of activities in the process branch is delayed or does not start, this activity will not start, the process instance can be delayed indefinitely at this activity. This setting is the logically the same as setting the Wait All Incoming property for a system activity to True (Static). Default Value: True Accepts Process Data Variables: No

Example: Dynamic = True

Configuration:

On the And activity, Dynamic is set to True. This is the default setting

The Salesforce Update Entity activity starts only if the SharePoint Retrieve List Item, Databse Query Record, and Timer activies are all complete.

Example: Dynamic = False

Configuration:

Result:
