Exclusion Group | This field is case insensitive. If this field is populated, only one Actionflow with this Exclusion Group can be running at any one time. Attempting to run a second Actionflow with the same exclusion group will return a warning and the Actionflow will not run. This applies whether the Actionflow is run manually or automatically using a schedule. Exclusion Group are evaluated before any Actionflows are started. If there is no Actionflow already running with this exclusion group then the Actionflow will continue. The action will be considered to be using this exclusion group from this point until the Actionflow has completed. |
Validate before running | Where validation has been set on form fields, switching this on performs the validation check before the Actionflow runs. If the validation fails, the Actionflow does not run and informs the user of the error(s). See Validation. |
Allow to Run with Validation Errors | Where validation fails, the user is informed of the error(s) and is given the option to still run the Actionflow. |
