Specifying resolution criteria for conditional dependencies

The resolution criteria for conditional dependencies can be specified on the single condition, not on the aggregated condition number. When you specify or modify the resolution criterion of a condition on a given predecessor, also the other existing conditions on the same predecessor are automatically aligned with that criterion.

To specify the resolution criteria for a condition, using the conditions previously defined for job PAYTRANS as an example:
  1. In the CONDITIONS LIST panel enter the S command in the row of condition number 005 to view the condition definitions.
    Figure 1. Specifying the conditions details in the Conditions List panel.

Enter/Change data in the rows, and/or enter any of the following              
row commands:

    It is not possible to specify mandatory resolution criteria on conditional predecessors, so that the related fields are excluded from the panel.
