   Function: Specifies which direct predecessor activities to wait for before starting the activity at runtime. Accepted Values: True - Specifies that the activity starts only after all of the activity's direct predecessors are Completed, along with all preceding activities in the process branch. This setting ignores activities that are skipped or bypassed because of the process logic or manual action in the Manage Center. This setting is the logically the same as setting the Wait All Incoming property for a system activity to True (Dynamic). 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

Result:

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:
