Easiest way to run tasks in sequence?

Hello,

We have three or four tasks/fixlets that we would like to run in sequence waiting for a “Complete” status before proceeding.

What is “the right way” to do this?

Create a Baseline with the four tasks in it. The components will execute in the order listed in the baseline.

You can select the four tasks, right-click, and “Add to new Baseline”; or, create a Baseline first, edit it, open the Components tab, select “Add components to baseline”, and find your four tasks to add them.

Once they are in a baseline, you can use the up/down arrows to configure their execution order.

I would like for it to stop if one of them fails. Is that the Baseline’s behavior?

Thank you

That’s a property of the Action Execution. By default it will continue running if a component of the baseline fails, you’d need to clear that checkbox when taking the Action:

You can make that the default for a specific baseline by editing the “Action Settings” for the Baseline in the Components tab of the Baseline:

The Action Presets you specify here would be the defaults whenever you take an Action from this baseline. You can clear the “Run all member actions” checkbox there in the Action Presets.
